| It's summer out there, and no-one wants to spend more time than necessary indoors squinting at a computer screen, so if you need any images, why not submit your requests through Photographers Direct? We have over 6,000 photographers all around the world, so someone is sure to have what you need, and if they don't, you will be giving them a good excuse to get out in the sun and take some
new images. Once you have submitted your requests and are out in the garden enjoying an ice cold drink, just think: you are happy, the photographers are happy, everybody's happy! Some recent examples where we have made frustrated picture researchers very happy: - A Middle Eastern woman on a cell phone who just witnessed a purse snatching. - Tata houses in Koutammakou, Togo - man using a sonic tape measure So, if you are having trouble finding images, why not give it a try?

| Experienced social photographer Mario Ponta's recent visit to Prague has added a fresh sparkle to his work, thanks to his genuine, spontaneous models (www.marioponta.com/Gallery/page_40001.html). "I work better with simple, natural people. If my images are good, it is because I have built up a friendship with the models", Mario says. The Paris-based photographer is adopting this fresh, new approach as he works his way across Europe's most vibrant cities: Paris, Rome and London. In September he will be working on stock photography in Rome, where he will be available for assignments. Samples of his work are on www.marioponta.com/gallery.

| A pickup truck makes its way around the bend of a mountain road in the California desert; a tall tower rises above the stone walls of an ancient fortified city; four wooden rocking chairs on a wrap-around porch look together to the blue sea; and on a sidewalk in the inner city, a group of six teenagers watch with hope as a basketball glides its way into a hoop mounted to the brick wall of an apartment building. These are just some of the many scenes and moments found in the July 2006 edition of Judah S. Harris Photographs Online - a new collection of stock imagery by Judah S. Harris, a New York-based photojournalist and fine art photographer.
