How to find the author on flicker w/ a URL directly to a picture

cutout-art.jpg

Summary:
URL: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/3078807322_46ec8afc1e.jpg
extract the first part of the filename: 3078807322
insert it here: http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=3078807322
yeay!

I found a link to this image from a picture blog feed (on current.com):
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/3078807322_46ec8afc1e.jpg

Loving the masterful paper craft, I wanted to know who did the artwork and if there was more.

I went to flicker to decipher their filename structure so I could do a reverse lookup.
3078807322_46ec8afc1e.jpg

The first part is the photo id _ the second part is a random number/hash (sometimes there is another _ and a letter which is for size)

Take the first part (the photo id) and insert it after this:

There ya go!
