Hello,
I am an artist making a series of camouflage fish paintings. I would like to make a painting from your tidepool sculpin photo which captures the camouflage trait so beautifully. I would not photocopy your work onto the canvas but use it as a reference.
Thank you for your consideration.

Oh, please, those comments have nothing to do with the place, and it's just nonsense. And you didn't provide any sourcing for the claims, anyway. Corvus cornixtalk 03:22, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Just a quick comment in regards to the airport thing a couple weeks back. Since you have taken great shots that were used without attribution before, you can start uploading images with a different licence if you feel comfortable with it. Keep it in mind since your images being used is something to be proud of with or without your name on them. I remember seeing one in particular (can;t find it at the moment) that was a simple release into the public domain. Of course, there is nothing wrong at all with expecting some acknowledgement. Best wishes to you.Cptnono (talk) 05:03, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi-
We wanted to let you know that we've used one of your pictures in a project of ours: http://litpics.tumblr.com/post/4505799402/lit-graded-memory-selections-by-various-pic-mila
We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.
We welcome any feedback about our site.
Thanks for sharing your pictures, Samantha and Patrick

Hi Mbz. I read over the article. I'd be happy to help out where I can. I see a problem, though, with the poems. The original poems are very old, but the translations are modern and subject to copyright. You may be able to quote a line or two from each poem, but more than that is probably a violation of Wikipedia's fair use guidelines.
