The Discovery Channel's Treehugger site used my photo here!

Very cool, congrats!
Well, I supposed that it depends on how you define "published". If you go by the m-w dictionary definition, then yes, oddly enough lots of my images have been published. That seems very strange to me though because I don't generally consider it.

I think my functional definition is Someone found my photo and decided to use it publicly in their own work.

LoL... I think that's a fine definition...

The Disney food blog used my photos from the wishes dessert party when they first started. I didn't know that I was one of the first people to put online the dessert party photos.
Also my photos of an extensive view inside the Cinderella castle suite were also used in a few other websites.

Zapper - do you mind when others use your photos? Do they ask permission first, or just lift them? How do you feel if you stumble upon them in someone else's website? I think it's a compliment that someone liked them enough to "steal" them, but I think they should credit the original photographer, not pass them off as their own.
My photos are never good enough for anyone to steal, so that will probably never be an issue for me!

I can answer for myself -- I use the Creative Commons Attribution license, so anyone is free to remix, adapt, and republish my CC-licensed photos for any purpose, as long as they credit me. That has helped a lot of people, including IEEE, Radio Netherlands Worldwide, the American Counseling Association, Lockergnome, Boing Boing, NASDAQ, the University of Bath, Woman's Day, Glamour, Popular Science, Raw Story, the Vancouver Sun, and Wired.
I figure if I can contribute to other people's work this easily, I'm delighted to do so!

Brad totally encourages the use of Creative Commons photo pool for use in the WDWFG Blog section. When I don't have a photo pf my own available to use, that's the first place I go to try and find one. Well... lol... unless it's a food post and then I beg the folks over at Disney Food Blog to for use of theirs. Creative Commons is a FABULOUS way to publish your works and it really does help out.

The people at the Disney food blog asked for my permission first. The others only took a few but put up a link to my blog as the source, so I suppose that's good enough for me.

As long as everyone gets credited, it's a great compliment I guess. I had never heard of Creative Commons, so that tells you that I am not in Zapper's league!

Then yes, yes we have. We were apart of the picture murals at Disneyland and DCA for the 50th or 55th celebration. They requested pictures and made giant murals out of them. Our photos were used in 6 murals throughout both parks. It was very cool
