I must disagree somewhat. I have not been vague at all. I have plainly
stated that need images of people helpeing people, people helping animals
or
just people caught doing a good deed. I'd like the photos to not be
staged.
The project doesn't require anything more than that.
As far as being upset, perhaps I am. I really thought that finding
something was as simple as asking "has anyone seen this" and others would
reply with where (that's waht I do in other newsgroups). Instead, asking
a
simple question of where I can find a simple sort of photo has been about
as
fun and rewarding as bathing wild cats.
Instead of offering information if one has it, I have been subjected to
accusations of wanting others to do my work, wanting free photos, etc. -
NONE of which I ever said in my original post.
Would I take free photos? Only if they fit the project.
Would I pay for the right photos? Gladly.
At this point though, I think I will simply retire to the bath with a sack
full of wild cats for a relaxing bath.
