That is a noble project, and if you stick to public domain or GFDL
pictures, it will be much nobler still. Please familiarize yourself
with the wealth of image resources listed under
      
   http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_image_resources

I think Jimbo's suggestion of a free photo resource site is great. It
could work pretty much like the GIMP photo archive 

   http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/

with a wiki-edited set of keywords for each photo, except it should
allow uploading of course, and needs to keep track of the license (or
lack thereof) and origin of each photo. Initially, we could seed the
database with all the photos from the public domain sources. Could be a
bit resource hungry though.
