Stock Image Library

Fast Service from a Big Collection

Our library of over 20,000 stock photography images offers you a special service, not found elsewhere: overnight, first rate images from nearly any location in North Carolina or the Southern Appalachian Mountains, no matter how obscure. We can also offer you very thorough coverage of the British countryside -- the result of Jim's collaboration with British Heritage Magazine.

How can we do this? We can overnight your images, no matter how geographically obcure or specific, because of our custom software for managing both images and text. Our software indexes the entire library with a hierarchy of geographic places, as well as topic and keyword, so we can find you exactly the right image fast — along with the paperwork needed to send it to you the same day. If overnight isn't fast enough, or you prefer to receive digital images, we have in-house digital imaging with resolutions up to 24 megapixels.

Here's a list of our major coverage areas:

• The State of North Carolina: Nearly complete coverage, with more than 8,000 images and rapidly growing.
• The Southern Appalachian Mountains: Complete coverage of the North Carolina Smokies and Blue Ridge; coverage elsewhere is thorough and expanding.
• Great Britain: With over 4,000 images, coverage is reasonable to thorough in the vast majority of the counties of England, Scotland, and Wales.
• The Colonial Coast: Savannah, Charleston (SC), and the colonial towns of North Carolina.
• Florida: Coverage of the Tampa Bay area and St. Augustine is very thorough.
• The Maritime Atlantic: Coastal Maine, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island .
• The Rocky Mountains: from Colorado to Alberta.
• Some other areas: Huntsville & Birmingham, AL; Washington, DC; Atlanta, GA; Republic of Ireland; and a few worthy shots from the former Soviet Trans-Caucasus republics, taken when Breshnev was still in charge.
