FIRST Stock Photos

[ChuckDickerson]

We are putting together an informational/sponsorship document to give out to people interested in our team and potential sponsors similar to the great one recently posted in the whitepapers by Team 1538. We have the document text written and have included photos specific to our team (taken by us) but are looking for generic stock photos of the competition events/venues, shots of student excitement, pit areas, etc. We are looking for photos that capture what it is like to be at competition not specific photos of gearboxes, arms, drivetrains, etc. or "robot portraits" like are at FIRSTRobotics.net. We know that FIRST has a gallery here: http://www.usfirst.org/4vol/resource...005/index.html but there are only 20 photos for 2005 and to be honest many are dark and don't really capture the essence of competition that we are looking for. BTW: We assume that since these are located here under the "Resource Center" and that "Resource Center allows remote access to the documents you need to recruit new sponsors, teams and volunteers, and, continue to grow FIRST." that these photos are available to be used by teams in sponsorship documents, etc. as long a photo credit is given to the photographer (Adriana M. Groisman). Please correct me if this is not the case.

Does anyone know if there is a better or more extensive gallery of these type stock photos available for teams to use that is "public domain"? We don't want to infringe on any copyright issues.
