Considering this thread, I want to report on the story of Terry, otherwise known as [[User:Googie man]]. Terry has two passions, baseball and photography, and he knows a lot about both. He is also a veteran Wikipedian, from the days before there even was a Wikipedia.

Looking through his contributions, _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Googie_man_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Googie_man) , you will see that Terry has contributed some amazing free images of baseball players (and other subjects). He lug his camera equipment to the games, takes the pictures, and spends hours cleaning them up to make them high quality, wikipedia-worthy FREE images. He then gets into endless arguments with people who would rather have "professional" images instead of the ones he took. It is frustrating.

Since we are discussing free images, I just want to point out that we need more people like Terry, not like the people who go out and rob copyrighted images under the claim of fair use. After all, that's what this project is all about. He shouldn't have to argue with people in defense of his images.
