The first image that pops up is not me, it's actually another Aaron on the same page as me... I didn't have a picture.

It was actually a red tie and shirt, then a blue shirt and yellow tie, then no tie, then an unbuttoned collar.
(That IS me.)
It's all in the Expanded MacNN Profile thread, page 7.

Yes, I was the one who recommended you loosen up, if I remember correctly.

Being a photographer it comes up with photos BY me rather than of me:
First male that shows up though:

The first picture that pops up is me, and many of the other pictures and links. But that's with the standard "moderate safe search on." If I turn it off, all hell breaks loose.

I am apparently:
A well known drummer, founding member of The Alkaline Trio
A realtor in Bakersfield CA
A hip hop artist, also from California
An author - actually several different authors
The director emeritus of the Hagley Museum
A digital effects artist (check IMDB)-interestingly, when I was in high school, I wanted to be a special effects technician
And a sales manager in New South Wales
...But I'm not any of them. I don't come up in Google at all. And nobody has pictures of any of the above "Glenn Porter"s online.

There's a figure in the porn industry (not an actor) who shares my name. I always wonder if old friends from high school have looked me up and thought I'd really made something of myself.

Googling my name with image search brings up a picture of me as the first hit.
And even with SafeSearch off, nothing even remotely resembling pr0n shows up.

My surname is unique to my family (of which there aren't that many) and my full name is unique to me. There were a total of 13 google hits on my name, none of them a picture of me. Here's the first:
I can't figure out why this image got a hit. My first name isn't anywhere to be found on or with the image.

I'd have gotten some image hits if I'd thought to use Image Search... But still, none of them are even remotely me.

1st google image: me
8 out of first 10 (including 1st link) google web: me
my blog and personal stuff didn't show up until the 2nd page though.
3 total hits for my complete full name in quotes (all me).
77 total hits for my shortened first name plus last in quotes (most were me). the rest belong to the other person with my name; all pages are in dutch and i can't read them.
1832 total hits for my complete full name with no quotes (7 on the first page was me).
6660 total hits for my shortened first name plus last with no quotes (2 on the first page was me).
my name isn't found in my state's online sex offender or prison records (any spelling) so thankfully i'm not confused with some criminal in "the system"

Using quotes on my first name, middle initial and last name, Google gets TWO hits. The first one is ME-I signed up to have my name, my wife's and our son's micro-etched on the Stardust probe. The other says that I died in 1973 in Texas. I had not ever been to Texas in 1973, so obviously that's the wrong me. Using my full name, I get more hits, but two are from an interview with a lady whose family included someone with my full name who had "died about fifteen years ago." The rest were about a 71-year old guy from Athens, Tennessee who had gone missing for a couple of weeks and then just showed up again.
Neither form of my name had any images. I guess that's a good thing, considering some of the places and situations my picture has been taken in.

Not me. But a photo by someone with the same name as me. The third, fourth, and fifth photos are all ones I've taken. The 6th one is me in a favorite photo of mine....

If just googling my name I'm the first links for sure. As far as images goes...I'm on the AIGA Board here and our President is a fiend for tagging every f'ing event photo on FLickr with the names of the people in the photos. Well, we sponsor happy hours at least once a month and of course I'm in most of them, so for the longest whiel when you GISd my name the first couple pages were just photos of me in bars.
Thats great when you're interviewing.

No pictures of anyone by my name on the first two pages of GIS, however on the regular text Google search, the first 8 entries are in fact me.

Because you're published, or some other reason? /curiosity
