Web Photos That Reveal Secrets, Like Where You Live

An article that the ladies should read if they take pictures with smart phones (like for example, an iPhone) and send it to clients or post on their website.

Summary: Newer phones (and some cameras) have the ability to save the lat/long of where the picture was taken. This means that if you take a picture of yourself in an incall, and then send it to someone. They can look at that lat/long, enter into google maps, and know exactly where you are.

please be safe!

Thanks for the heads up, thx!

wow that sux !

The "geotag" is something that is real and caution should be used by anyone using smartphones to take photos. Use the old fashion camera instead.

Wow I never knew that!! Thanks for the link!

Yeah, I've been telling people this for a long time. I think it's good advice for us all

Thank you for the information...

Also remember that if you have professional photos taken have the embedded meta data stripped. May photographers embed this for copyrights.


Savvy people can find out info this way..

What is the easiest way for an amateur to

1. find out if metadata is attached to a picture.

2. remove that data?

I will research as to how you can remove the metadata

You might try the free program Batch Purifier LITE at:

or read thru the article at:

for a more detailed program if you want to get into the depths.

Good info for everyone... Thanks

That is exactly why I do not want some fancy phone! I think they will end privacy and that is not good at all for the hobby.

search on 'photo metadata editor'.
