Googlebot only taking my images what gives?

[BigDreweyStyle1]

I noticed Googlebot coming around today. It seems to only crawl my images. Is it to early to start being concerned, has anyone gotten deep crawled, here is a piece of my log file

BigD,

Looks like the freshbot found a bunch of new images that it hadn't seen before. Either that, or you don't have your Last-Modified http server headers set up - I see that the 'bot got 200-OK responses most of the time. On my sites, when freshbot comes around, it gets a 304-Not Modified response on anything that it has already seen that hasn't changed. GoogleGuy posted several months ago that it's a good idea to include Last-Modified info in your headers, and I do.

64.68.xx.xx is the freshbot, and 216.239.xx.xx is the deepcrawler, whose presence is expected and keenly anticipated... Soon.
