Joe– Are these 3500+ GIF files public domain, copyrighted material or a mix of both? Any chance that some might be illegal copies of copyrighted material? I'm asking because I'll need to get proper clearance if I decide to use some of these images in a custom project for a client. Is copyright information included in the directory files? –Jim

Sorry Jim these pictures are not for use for anything other than person viewing, no releases or proof of copyright is available. What kind of "project" could you possibly be doing with these (or ones like them) pictures???????

Joe– Sorry, I missed the beginning of this thread. From the row of exclamation points you appended to your reply, I gather these are the sort of pictures sold in those little shops along the highway where guys park behind the building so the neighbors can't see their cars. OTOH, since I develop multimedia training for steelworkers, they might be very useful as motivational material. <g> –Jim

You got it!!! these pictures would motivate 100 out of 100 steel workers and perhaps melt their hardhats!!! ;->
