My guess is photograher was rushing due to traffic, high security around the building, etc.

Well, I guess he might have to jump off the bridge and snap a picture quick before he hits ground.

BTW, note the cut out "V" symbol on Leopard CD-ROM. Either a coincidence or design brilliance.

Our current signature rules give you two options:

- an image (200x50px max, 10KB max, non-animated) and up to one line of text, OR
- no image, and up to four lines of text.

In either case, blank lines do count, and lines must be of reasonable length so they don't wrap on most screens (think 900px browser window width).
