Hi. I’m searching the Internet for a picture to illustrate a poem by R.-M. Rilke, and in looking for something appropriate I came upon you site. I like the angle and design you’ve made from the sphinx, and though it has nothing to do with my current quest I will sneak it into my hoard of pic.s for possible use at a later date. I’m leaving this note to let you know that I enjoy your works, and that I will perhaps someday post this photo on my own blog, though I must confess I hardly ever have the organization in my life to keep track of who does what, leaving artists often unacknowledged. I’ll keep you url and do my best to keep you pic. attached so if I do use you work you’ll at least get some credit for it when I do.

It’s a problem for some that their work is grabbed and used or even misused by others, no thanks or even curses for it. But it’s entirely possible that you will write and ask that I not use your work, which I have no permission to use in the first place; and should that occur I won’t do you any disservice by posting against your wishes. If this is it though, and we never have further contact again, please allow me to say that I hope your work spreads little by little, through my blog and others, till it’s seen by many and appreciated by all.

Best regards, Dag.
