Tumblr annoys and infuriates me to extremes. Like, I love this image above — but who the hell is the photographer, and how can I right the wrong of seeing their gorgeous image (and pretty model) hit a couple Tumblr blogs (like this one) with no attribution whatsoever? I mean, besides the fact that Tumblr completely dicked me (and not in a good way) at their SXSWi party while I was getting my cupcake-bringing friends into VIP and then they non-VIP’d me. That’s a different issue. No, when I first started to try and hunt down the owner of this photo, I saw it was hotlinked to a Flickr page, and then two seconds later it was yanked as ‘unavailable’ (via PrettyDaily), and replaced with a Tumblr file string in ‘properties’.
I tried like hell to find it on Flickr, and Google.
Who shot this beautiful photograph? Anyone have tips?
Thank you for an email.
About that image, I do not understand it in detail, too.
I’m sorry.
In addition, please come to play!
This will introduce a site, too.
An image of today is this.

Agree 100%. Cruising tumblr blogs for porn is a total cock tease. Give us a gallery link, or at least a link to the photo itself so we can find the root directory. Jeez.
I’m just as irritated when images go uncredited.
When I come across a beautiful image desperately needing to be shared, I do what you just did: post it and ask my readers for the source.

I’m afraid Tumblr is the future of the net: quick sharing without credit; the original poster was either lazy or ignorant.
The best advice I could offer is to just use a citation for the for photo within the website. While you cannot give the photo proper credit, you can at least give source your material.
Ignore my last comment.. I found the fc2.com blog that had the original post:

Here is a hi-res of that same rope marks image:

Unfortunately, none of this gets you the specific answers you were looking for.. Sorry.
Did your searches link you to this page?

I think this is the model.
The PrettyDaily page had a link to http://blog-imgs-31-origin.fc2.com/k/a/i/kaito88/K3934.jpg which I assume is closer to the origin based on its larger number of pixels. Using that URL, some googling and some luck got me to here: http://kaito88.blog4.fc2.com/blog-entry-5162.html (which has a link to that same picture), but my lack of japanese makes it difficult to figure out much from that.
