Yes, that would be great!
Vittorio Sella was the best of all time though, no other photogragher/Alpinist-mountaineer has ever come close. He had the money and talent of Luigi Amedeo, the Duke of Abruzzi, take him to some of the most incredible spots on the planet.
Well, there are a few others of course.

Breath Taking Photos.
Of course the family will deny them, until the are proven and then they will accuse someone of stealing them and fight to get them back.
Lets hope the finder keepers law applies to adults like it used to apply to us as kids.
But wait when we were kids if we spent all our money Uncle Sam didnt give us more to piss off, only to give us more and more and well you all know the story of the bailouts the BKed America.

Fresno: A once quaint farming town, now a cesspit of gang bangers, illegal aliens, welfare rats, and women with bad hairdos...
Nice photos though!
