Hello,
You’re using my images without my permission.

Either remove the images or link them back to my pages on Flickr. You’ve provided a link back to my Flickr photostream but, just to be clear, the images are not ‘courtesy’ of elementalPaul since nobody had the courtesy to ask me permission to use the images. What you’ve done is essentially pinch the pictures I took and host them on your own site thereby depriving me of views on my Flickr images.
It’s cool that you like my work but imagine how you’d feel if people took your work and passed it off as their own. By re-posting my images I feel that that’s what is happening to me.
Cheers
