[SOLVED - Victor found!][PUZZLE] Corazon Suarez on Flickr?

Follow me here. I think this is a puzzle.

http://www.lastcallpoker.com/user/profile.aspx?UserName=corazonsuarez
Corazon has some new info on her page. Included is "tasteful art photos". If you look at the url of the photo, you get

http://static.flickr.com/32/45250983_6a19046d98.jpg

Yes, the picture is hosted on Flickr!

There has to be a user account on Flickr with this picture and (likely) more. Unfortunately when you post a flickr photo like this, there's no immediate way to tell what account it came from. CorazonSuarez doesn't exist on flickr, and now I'm trying to find Victor's last name, as he likely took the pics.

Anyone else have any ideas?

got him!!!!

http://www.lastcallpoker.com/user/Profile.aspx?UserName=victorsimkoaldridge

details to follow, wanted to get the knowledge out there.

edit: here's how I found him:

I did some researching into Flickr's URL structure. Corazon's picture was:
http://static.flickr.com/32/45250983_6a19046d98.jpg

The portion reading 45250983 is Flickr's ID for that pic.

I did more digging, and found part of Flickr's API that lets you reverse-lookup a photo ID:
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/?method=flickr.photos.getInfo

Put the ID in there, and got Vic's account address as an output:
http://flickr.com/photos/13492171@N00/

From the profile ("vsimkoaldridge") I got his middle and last name Smile

Interesting pics of Corazon in there...

Vic's profile has a video too, which I won't spoil.

Hey... It's cigarette guy... Paco said he was blond, had a beard and looked like a redneck outta the Valley... And then there's the whole "Canoe" thing.

This guy is a coward. Kills up close, but can't look the person in the eye when he pops them. Even when they know it's comming.

I also just realized that I could have just looked up "Fast Cheap and Out of Control" (Corazon sat on a copy of it on the couch) as an interest in his Flickr profile...

oh well, I did it the fun way Smile

viktor is not cigarette guy, viktor gets *killed* by cigarette guy, which you see in the movie on viktor's profile.

That was a very nice solve thunderclap.. I think it's the only one that involves some work other than randomly sticking every first name with every last name you've got.

Thanks! The randomness of the Flickr URL makes me wonder if there's similar items we've missed. I could have very easily not checked the URL on that photo.

Indeed -- that was wonderful. I'd checked the first few early on, they were stored on LCP, so I hadn't even given a thought to it after that... very good eye and good mind.

Not really sure where to post this, but this seems as good a place as anywhere.
The "Did yous sister do this? Did she send you out here? Because i can tell you, i didnt touch her, i never touch any of the girls OK?" probably refers to vic being a pimp, possibly getting a conection to Robert Brown (see the first and last paragraph of Aqua Velva Man)
And what is that he's getting cigarette to give to his girlfreind?

-Edit: Have just answered my own question, seems to be a key, one of the hexagonal barelled ones like you get for window locks ect. Barrel seems to be hollow

Personally, I think it's more likely to refer to his "tasteful art photos", with a suggestion that there's more than one girl involved, but maybe that's just me.

Signs point to pr0n films - Corazon says he always takes his digital camera with him when he works, implying that he uses another implement for work. Also, he wants to make documentaries.

Is there a way to download pictures from Flickr? I'm thinking specifically of the shot just of the makeup table. Doesn't seem to quite fit with the rest and I'm wondering if there's a clue there if you can look more closely at the picture. Unfortunately an attempt to download by right clicking on it in IE just nets you a 1x1 image. Crying or Very sad

you mean this picture? Makeup Table

PS: I'm not sure if there is any way easier than looking through the source, searching for .jpg, and finding the right URL.
