Here is a gallery of images and photos that I
liked or thought might be useful one day to glamorize or
demonstrate something on a web page. The image files all came to
me via spam, completely unsolicited and unwanted e-mail messages.
Now I am no legal expert, but I figure if you stick something in
my paw, that I didn't ask for, you mean for me to do with it
whatever I want.
So I have started saving image, photo and graphics files
here. I have also edited out any text or other stuff relevant to
the original spam, to make the images immediately useful and
generic. Since the images came to me free, I thought I would
spread the wealth and now they are yours for the taking too.
Please copy the image files locally when you use them, so my
servers aren't impacted.
Here are brief instructions for copying a photo to your machine.
Using Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows, right-click
on the image. Then choose "Save Picture As...".
Using Netscape Navigator on Microsoft Windows, right-click
on the image. Then choose "Save Image As...".
Hey, wouldn't it be nice if everyone took out the useful bits
from spam and made it available to the general public? Maybe
start a whole virtual spamosphere of useful free stuff!
Shoot me an email if you use a pic on your site. Most recent reported good use is by the hilarious folks
at pthbbbt.com:

and my favorite: www.pthbbbt.com/stuff/MNCACITIU/unstoppable.html.

Legal fine print:This page does not constitute legal advice or instruction. Use these images at your own risk. I believe some spammers steal their images from other web pages and so in fact do not have rights to the images they use to promote their products and services. If I am notified that any image violates a copyright I will remove it.
