Thanks, man. I saved in the pending file. Because it's showing everywhere, though, I'll probably hold it for use at some later time.

I find that the pictures have more impact if either no one's seen them or they're enough of a flashback to have some emotional echo.

Thanks, though, hunting these pictures is sometimes hard so the help is appreciated.

How do you come up with these Mike. I find the funeral ones especially for some reason. Maybe because the grief is so recognizable.

I just ran across a bunch at Cyptome.org, but be aware that if you go there you get on "the list." The guy is a strict first amendment libertarian and goes so far as to put up sat pictures of defense installations, the whitehouse, etc. The FBI has tried to shut him down a number of times. So, they're there, but if you go by, be aware.

And, I always try very hard not to be exploitative in their use, but they're part of the story. There's alot I've seen and kept that I won't use because somehow it seems wrong. It's just ethics on the fly.
