We could also control what size images we wanted on this site and therefore the quality of these image would be higher

We have still images of : Alexandra Burke , Paris Hilton, Michael Carroll, a Blackberry, Jars of sweets, a house in the sun and a restaurant

We took our moving images off Youtube because of the large amount of video's that the website has because the video's we needed are quiet o

bscure
