general racing photogrphs needed

[Rick Kirchner]

I'm developing a seminar called "Racing as a hobby (without losing your shirt, job, house, and marriage). It's intended for a community college audience, and for presentation at auto shows, car club meetings, etc. I don't intend to make money off of it in any way.

Right now it's powerpoint presentation about 90 slides long. I figure it will grow to about 150 slides max.

For each slide (or when transitioning between them) I want to have a background that's germane to the topic. I've laid out what I need in the way of each picture and I'm looking for a photographer (or any number of photographers) that would be willing
To provide their products for this purpose.

I'm not in a position to pay for rights, but I'm certainly willing to attribute each photo to the photographer with a copyright note in small text and additional acknowledgements and website links at the end of presentation.

If you are interested, please PM or E-mail me and I'll send a list of the shots I need.

Mrs Purple Frog only has about 150,000 pictures on storage drives of theF2000 Series and the FF40th.
We might be able to help.

I have to thank you guys for such a tremendous response. In addition to Frog's post above I've received several PMs and E-mails. I'll post the list below and also follow up with each of you via e-mail.

Seems that what I'm going to need is some kind of dropbox or file sharing setup. Any ideas? I've tried to use dropbox before and found it abysmally slow. I'm on Verizon standard DSL.

I will just send you the photos through Google drive. Anyone who has gmail can do it and anyone can receive the file even if they don't have gmail. It's pretty simple. I usually just compress all the photos into one .ZIP that way the recipient only has to download one file.
