Or, we "make a deal" with some of the companies that supply the news 
agencies with pictures. As you said, we're gettin bigger, meaning more 
and more people will view wikipedia pages. If the image description 
would read "Image by [[Reuters]], released under GFDL", it would be a 
great advertivement for them, and it would cost them only a small image, 
perhaps of second-grade quality (which would be fine for us, but never 
printed in a magazine anyway).
