I went there a while back and a good buddy of mine goes there to do research and get photos at least twice a year. He's gotten somewhere between 40,000-50,000 photos from there :!:

Sorry Jack, :oops: what does "gotten photos" mean? Does he buy copies? Scan copies? Steal them under his shirt? :wink:
