It actually started when I was at someone's homepage and I wanted to see more of the pics, but there wasn't any links to the rest of the pictures even though they were in the directory. That got me to thinking that other people probably do the same thing and then I started doing some google searches.
Another fun thing to do is when you go to someone's blog/etc, find their images directory. Then just go to the root folder. If they don't have directory browsing turned off, you can view all their files, which sometimes include some interesting things...
