The variety of the photographic material in the USENET newsgroups is endless. Even though much of it is erotic in nature and explicit, there is an ever increasing number of daily contributions from all over the world on many topics which aren't sex related at all.
We install our product with a set of pre-can searches which represent a small subset of what's available. These pre-can searches will most likely generate (depending on your server's capacity and which newsgroups it carries) hundreds of pictures daily.
These are some of the regular topics.
S p o r t s

The geometry of nature. Controlled chaos. Endless loops of color and form. Mountains and planets drawn by machines. All the elegance of hidden mathematical principles displayed as complex multicolor patterns with infinite number of variations. Fractal images are computer generated. If you thought that mathematics were a dull subject, these images will change your mind.

From plains of wild flowers in Alaska, to the Sonoran desert, to a backyard garden in New York City, to the Jamaican Bush, to the Black Forest in Germany. The forests and parks of every nation are regularly seen in spectacular color and b/w photographs. Share in trips to the Rain Forest or visits to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. It's hard to do justice to the variety of pictures available.

A round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery by
Brad Brace.
The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it
suspends identity, relations and history. A post-rhetorical, continuous,
apparently random sequence of imagery... genuine gritty, greyscale...
corruptable, compact, collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness
of the grey imminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visual impact;
an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless present of the Net.

V e h i c l e s
Harley-Davidson motorcycles and their lovers, Apache helicopters, dirt bike races, the latest secret stealth bomber, seawolf submarines, naval cruisers, World War II ships and planes, Formula I cars, RAF photos, The Redden Transport Archives Collection,... The vehicles, the drivers, and the victims. Vehicles built out of love and out of hate. The
most complex machines made by humans, and the most expensive too. Designs that took decades and thousands of millions of dollars and countless lives to build. Take a look for yourself.

A n i m a l s
A zoo called Earth. Featuring every continent, specie, size, color, and hair length. From the cuddly pet to the vicious killer. Those who fly above the mountains and those who live miles deep under the oceans. Those who are owned and those who are free.

A s t r o
The collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter. The comet Hale-Bopp. The crab nebula from Palomar. Io in color. Images from the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA images. Pathfinder images. Supernovas. The Orion constellation. The sky is yours.

New groups are being formed almost daily, including those which contain pictures.
We have described just a few. There is no central authority as to which groups are carried or by whom, so each ISP (Internet Service Provider) makes its own policy. The groups that we list below are carried by most servers, and in them, you'll find cartloads of material fitting the previous descriptions:
alt.binaries.pictures.12hr, alt.12hr, alt.binaries.pictures.animals, alt.binaries.pictures.art, alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc, alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.photos, alt.binaries.pictures.astro, alt.binaries.pictures.fractals, alt.binaries.pictures.gardens, alt.binaries.pictures.misc, clari.sports.photos, alt.binaries.pictures.sports,
alt.binaries.pictures.vehicles, alt.binaries.pictures.rail.
