Tracing the original owner of an image?

[cwinhall]

I need to hunt down the original owner of this photograph if possible...

Any feasable idea on how to go about this? :shrug:

P.S Thats just a random one off a random website, this image is used an various websites and by some companies. Not specific to the site I took the image from to display here.

Yeah I cant see any exif on that shot either.

EDIT - AHA now I see the copyright info when looking at it in photoshop.

I'm using Kuso Exif viewer, it doesnt matter where Im viewing, a program, the net, PS or forums I right click and its there.
Below is what I got from the above pic, ***' camera type did not show along with a lot off other stuff, that sometimes gets stripped away by editing.
