I need 3 photos of mountain climbers for a small presentation I am
doing.

I need a photo of mountain climbers in a whiteout.  It would be great
if it had some of those poles with flags on them that are used my
climbers as breadcrumb trails on big mountains, but it is not 100%
needed.

I also need a photo of a worm out mountain climber.  Someone who looks
spent, has a big heavy pack on,been cold for a long time, feels
miserable, looks like they lost lots of weight, looks weak, no longer
healthy, not to happy at the moment.  It is the toll of constant work
with no letup that I want to convey.

I also one of a rock climber who looks strong, heathly, happy,
powerful.  He has the good life in the warm sun.  It is the strenth
offered by short bursts of energy expediture, and then lots of rest
that I want to convey.

The photos need to be at least 400 x 400 pixels.  They need to be free
or at lease cheap. They will only be shown once for a group of 10
people.


thanks in advnace.

2) Here’s your worn out mountain climber photo, from a Duke University
Outing Club website:

Note: this climber is female, and I think that this would serve to
enhance the diversity of your presentation, in keeping with corporate
diversity policies, equal opportunity, etc.

Here's one in a white out.  It might not fit your needs, though.  The
climbers' backs are to the camera, and after appropriate cropping, it
might be less than 400 x 400.

I saw that one earlier. The problem with it is it is too low res and
it isn't whiteout enough. That large rock area gives them a bit to
much orientation to be the kind of lost that you typically experience
in a whiteout.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a photo of a worn out mountain climber.

Would these images be an adequate answer to your question?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

How about this for a worn out climber?

You would likely need to seek copyright permission before proceeding.

Not sure what's there, but you might want to check
<http://www.istockphoto.com/> and see if you can find something
appropriate.  Images are good yet cheap.  ($.50 per download.)  There
are over 70,000 photos to choose from on all kinds of topics,
generally very high resolution.  (Disclaimer: I have some photos there
for download, but no mountain climbers.)
