First off, he is a thief that scammed a shop owner out of 16k dollars. He also scammed numerous others and has been arrested for fraud before.

Now back to him taking credit for others photos.. Since I've always had a feeling that he didn't take any of said pics, after seeing the countless threads about him scamming people, I decided to go back and check them out.

Some of you may remember this thread:
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/p...s-1st-try.html

See the HDR image of Pier 60 in Clearwater Beach? Well I decided to search Flickr for "Clearwater Beach". Guess what the FIRST image that showed up was? You got it.. that HDR pic that he supposedly took.

This picture was infact taken by Joe Y Jiang.

Link to his photostream:
Flickr: Joe Y Jiang's Photostream

And a direct link to the picture in question:
Clearwater Beach @ Dusk on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I'm sure EVERY SINGLE other pic that he has posted has been stolen, and watermarked with his name. I only tried looking for that one photo, but I'm sure I could find many others if I tried.

Isn't this illegal? He cropped out the REAL Photographer name/watermark, and marked it with his name. Is this copyright infringement, or something along those lines?

I will be contacting the REAL Photographer shortly and I will send him the link to this thread. Then it's all in his hands and he can further pursue it if he would like.

I am doubting JOE DONO even has a camera at all.. He just wanted the attention, and us to praise him for his amazing HDR work.

Joe Dono, you are a low life and your day will come.


EDIT: More stolen photos!

A little more searching on Flickr resulted in me finding Joe Dono's entry for the July Contest (Hands theme). I searched "Hand" and viewed all the pics until I got to the 7th page.. Guess what I found?

At least nine photos he claims to be his own on here he has blatantly stolen from a flickr member. Who knows where else he could have stolen photos from.

It might be too late to add but the pictures don't even show half of how good the work and car look. I'm not a big fan of show cars but this car looked TOO GOOD. You guys might say lets pay for the car then smash it but if you see it in person you definately won't want to do that.
