A few friends of mine and I are working on a missions-related website. We’d like to find several panoramic (i.e., stitched together) photos that would be missions-related (show the faces of people of the world or be of fairly recognizable city scenes). Size requirements - we would have to be able to comfortably resize them to 1600 pixels wide by 185 pixels high. “Comfortably” means they would have to start out at least this size or larger and when resized, they would still have to present a reasonable view. For example, I can find appropriate images that are larger than 1600 pixels wide, but because they aren’t panoramic, when I resize them to 1600 pixels wide by 185 pixels high, we end up with a person’s nose on one end of the image and basically nothing recognizable for the rest of the image to the right.
Anyone know of a good, inexpensive source of such images? I’ve tried istockphoto and bigstockphoto (two of my favorite sources for inexpensive stock photography), but haven’t had much luck yet.
Any help readers of this site could lend would be greatly appreciated!

I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
