Economic and Political Powers that Be...

Sun, 20/04/2008 - 13:10 — augustin

I was looking for pictures to illustrate the political and economic powers and couldn't find anything really suitable.

I found "Money!" by Tracy O http://flickr.com/photos/tracy_olson/61056391/
and "Money, its a crime" by DryIcons http://flickr.com/photos/dryicons/2288161813/
but I was not entirely satisfied (I might still use them, though).

Then, I stumbled upon pictures posted by the World Economic Forum. Check the Wikipedia entry: it's instructive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum. They exactly represent the kind of powers I am talking about :)
Here is their channel on Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/worldeconomicforum/
They have been kind and generous enough to release their pictures under the By-SA CC license :)

Here are a selection of picture from their channel. The pictures I chose do not generally focus on one participant of the forum (unlike most of the pictures in the channel). Many are generic enough to use precisely in the way I want to use them. But if you need a good shot of a well known world politician or economic leader, have a look.

Now, I have to decide which ones to use, and how to use them...
