How long would it take for you to find a photographer, explain what you're looking for, negotiate a price and then finally receive the photographs you wanted?

How long would it take for you to find a photographer, explain what you're looking for, negotiate a price and then finally receive the photographs you wanted? Probably more than a few hours. This is where Getty adds value IMHO. Their site is a quick way to find extant photographs that fit most needs. (For this, I think their search is better than Google's.)
