And going one further, a search for openstreetmap on flickr comes up with a nice assortment of images, most of which one would hope are CC licensed (or should that be ODbL - aargh, let's not go there!).<br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=openstreetmap&w=all&s=int">http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=openstreetmap&w=all&s=int</a><br>
<br>And in fact there's an OpenStreetMap group on flickr<br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/43599786@N00/">http://www.flickr.com/groups/43599786@N00/</a><br><br>Paul if you're willing to pick out a good assortment (from those sources or elsewhere) I think that would be great!<br>

Why not just go to flickr and in the spirit of what we are doing look for some good images be that blonde, redhaired and even God forbid bald! I am happy to ask the flickr users for permission for this image to be used in an OSM media pack? With attribution of course;))</span></font></div>
<div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">As an example I typed "GPS and map" and immediately found this image</span></font></div>

<div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Let me know. I have put together a fair few media information packs in my time so I would ensure that the image quality etc was sufficiently good for each media type i.e web, print etc.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 13px;">What perhaps would be good for OSM Foundation members and contributors to do themselves would be to shoot, contribute any video material that they may have or want to take so that an edited video can be put up on vimeo of a "mapathon" day edited specifically for usage/additional editing by broadcast media.</span></font></div>
