Why put up photos at all? Who cares what people look like.
For some reason I needed to show you a map? A picture of something that you might need to see, like say, your lost dog, or watch, or maybe a sex offender living in your neighborhood?
I can just barely believe I'm on here defending the value of photography.
Perhaps mosaics, and stone wall carvings are more your speed.
It still won't crash the page though. Despite it being a wee bit byte heavy, (8 separate images if I remember correctly) it just won't. The most that is going to happen, is that I get some pointed email from Photobucket.
Steal the pics if you want to, because it's considered "fair use" (been doing this for years), but if you hot link to my account, it's EXTREMELY easy to replace the picture with something you'll be appalled by.
TPM, WorldNet Daily, Think Progress, and Fox.com, will not be pleased by your effort.
