Details:

When I come across a picture that reminds me of another photo I've seen somewhere, I get the urge to track down its mate and match them up! I don't always give myself the time to make a pairing because the process can take a while, especially when I have to scavenge for a photo's missing artistic attributions.

Google's reverse image search feature is a really handy tool you can use to find out more about a mysterious picture. My favorite method of using the reverse image search is to shrink my web-browser window so that I can drag the picture file I want to know more about into the search bar on Google's image search page. It doesn't always provide useful results, but there is usually something I can use to start digging.
