ID request

How often can you ID my pictures? I have quite a bit more but don’t want to overload you.

How often can you ID my pictures? I have quite a bit more but don’t want to overload you.

If you present with a few, not more than five requests at a time, that should be all right.
Let me take my time.
I do a lot of cross- checkings with possible IDs.
Some shots are impossible to solve.
