Not that I have a problem with that as linking is eminently more practical. But my pics feel a little lonely sitting here all by themselves now. Maybe I'll haul a couple over to keep them company..

Crispus is correct about the practical considerations. The best galleries I've found so far (the two flickr ones I linked above, and the smugmug gallery PWG2 already linked) are watermarked.
However, whenever possible I
ALWAYS prefer re-posting pics rather than linking galleries. Links have a way of going private, or disappearing entirely. Plus, as a re-poster, exercising a bit of editorial discretion is one way to give back to OCC. I mean, obviously everyone can do a flickr search. But when there are literally thousands and thousands of pics from a given event, like Fremont Solstice, it's nice to compile "the best of the best" here. Obviously that's always going to be based on the subjective preferences of the individual poster, but there's almost always enough consensus that it seems a worthwhile endeavor.
As I said, the bulk of what I've found has been water-marked, which makes going back through my download folder and plucking out the post-able (and post-worthy) pics will be a bit of a chore, but I have every intention of doing so as we move forward.
