  Contact the blogger please. Using an image without the express written consent of the copyright holder is content theft, and no copyright notice is required, as copyright is vested in the creator automatically.

  Do not ever use any image unless you have prior written permission to use it or you will be committing a breach of copyright. Confirm the specific requirements of every image source please and use what they specify for crediting them.

  There does not seem to be any contact information with regard to the photo. Do you know where I can locate the contact info?
