# i'll be in hamburg in a couple of months time
i might try and track it down and have a photo taken of me with a paper, a croissant and an orange juice. i'll be looking very smug.

that's a very scottish thing to do. not that i know whether the hulk was scottish, or not

# That's probably only if the image includes geotagging data.
It's possible that the higher resolution versions of the stock images contain that.

# Nah I doubt that
I contacted the agency and their answer on my question about location was "probably Hamburg" but they didn't have any further details on location (even approximate) :(

# I tried that approach but all comms go through the management team
The chap is 75 years old though, and the photo looks like it's at least 10 years old - can't see him remembering when or where he took a photo of a smug man with big gums and a croissant, when he's previously taken photos of Salvador Dali :D

amundsen didn't freeze to death though, which in this loose analogy gives me a distinct advantage
