If you’ve ever worried about photos from your past coming back to haunt you, get to know the story of the Everywhere Girl. Over a decade ago she was a young actress posing for a series of stock photos. While she’s no Mona Lisa, in recent years her photos have made their way into royalty-free collections and crept into print and web designs the world over. First chronicled in Paul Hales’ technology blog The Inquirier and later by Idée’s own CEO Leila, the Everywhere Girl now even has her own blog. While fans have been compiling her images with the human eye for years, no method is better suited to this kind of task than image-recognition technology.
We indexed a series of Everywhere Girl photos using PixID our image recognition technology and have been monitoring the appearance of the Everywhere Girl. Here are the interesting results from our book cover monitoring project:

james Feb 24 08 at 2:27 pmwow that’s cool! I’ve done some stock photos, wonder where I’ve ended up? The girl I shot with is everywhere though, just saw her on a commercial 2 years after the shoot. She might be the next Everywhere Girl!
james Feb 24 08 at 2:30 pmhmm, what I said was confusing: what I meant was the photos I shot with the girl have shown up everywhere. One of the photos just showed up on a commercial and I found another one at capturethecall.com (she’s the blonde on the right). Wonder if my photos from that shoot showed up anywhere? Is there a free version of PixID?
Shuk Apr 08 08 at 2:53 pmVery cool…
Shes a very beautiful… im in love :D
S2great blog man.. congratulations…
elocin277 Apr 10 08 at 5:35 pmOMG that’s hilarious. I work for a non-profit org. that’s used this chick on the front of a flyer used for encouraging high school students to look into trades as a career. I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada. Now THAT’S obscure!!
brett maxwell Apr 13 08 at 2:26 amwow! i went to a really small private college in Michigan that used the walking picture on several promotional brochures and other items.
