Hi-Res Sousaphone Picture

I'm preparing a short talk about the tuba. I want to explain the difference between a tuba and sousaphone and I don't want to actually bring a sousaphone with me. So, I'm looking for a high resolution photo of a sousaphone, preferrably with a person in the picture for scale.
Any suggestions on where I can find one?

UH-OH I can see it coming... Someone will post the girl on a stool in the surf wearing a sousaphone. I don't know if it meets the hi-res criteria, but the rest is OK.

I'd like to be able to print it on at least letter size paper (bigger would be better) or project it from a laptop.

Sean is that a PT88 with a Nylon rim? (It looks like some sort of nylon PT.) If so, how do you like it? Have you used it on your concert tuba? I use a PT88 exclusively, but I miss the room-temperature feel of the Kelly mouthpieces.

I normally down like showing off, but I really like my gold plate Conn 38K sousaphone. For reference, I am 6'6" and 300 pounds. If you want others, try going to Google, click on the "Images" link and enter "sousaphone" and do a search. There are lots of interesting photos of sousaphones with people.
