Some of you know this, but I'll bet a lot of you don't. If you have a photo you'd like to track down, here's a quick and easy way to find every place it appears on the internet. (It doesn't actually find EVERY place, but it will find most of them.)
You must have a digital image of the photo in your computer to start with. If you don't know how to do that, go to a Kinkos/Fedex and they'll help you.
Then open Google. In that black bar right above the Google logo, you'll see headings of You, Search, Image, Maps, etc. Click on Images.
In the bar where you normally type in your search terms, notice that there is now a little icon of a camera at the right end. Click on the camera icon.
Now you'll have a new place to enter search terms. But right above it, you'll now see "Paste image URL" and "Upload an Image." Click on "Upload an Image."
Now click on the word "Browse" and find the image where you've stored it in your computer. When you find your image, double left-click on it, and it will be automatically uploaded to Google, which will scan the internet and bring you every place your image appears.
If you're looking for the best version of your image, notice that next to your image it shows the pixel dimensions. It also shows the dimensions of every incidence of your photo on the web, so you can find the one with greatest resolution.
It will also show you cropped versions, tinted versions, sepia-toned versions, and wherever else your image shows up. And of course there is often information on that web page about your photo.
Not only that, but if you're looking to create a large library of digital photos of Indians, this is a great way of finding obscure sites that have little-known photos.
BTW, did you know that there's a Facebook group devoted to old photos of Native Americans? They have over THIRTY THOUSAND photos. Just log onto Facebook and search for Native Americans Indians Old Photos.
They have 342 different albums, one for each tribe.
