I need to find photos of celebrities (athletes, actors, musicians,
political figures, etc) praying or meditating. I have found a few at
some stock photo sites like corbis and gettyone but not enough. Is
there any place with a collection of such photographs? Or to narrow it
down even more, does anyone know where to find a picture of M. Jordan
praying?

zenomott,

How many images of celebrities praying will you consider an acceptable
answer to your question?

Clarification of Question by zenomott-ga on 16 Nov 2002 10:27 PST

Yeah,

Well, I've got a lot of Olympic athletes. And for some reason (hmmm)
politicians seem to like to have their photos taken while praying. And
I've covered boxing pretty well. So I guess I need some photos of
other pro athletes, pop musicians, movie stars - people that are
easily recognizable and looked upon as role models.

So I don't know, ten images? How does that sound?

Hello Zenomott-ga

Most of the photo libraries I researched didn't have any celebrities.
Rex Features did have a few. I found just enough of them praying to
satisfy your quota. If the links do not work, it is due to their
website protecting URLs from being externally referenced. If that
happens please copy and paste the URLs below into your browser, or as
a last resort, key in the name of the celebrity and the word praying (
celebrity name + praying )
in their search box. (I have included the photo's reference number for
easier reference).
