Hi I just joined this forum today and would like to contact a member regarding use of his photo here http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=Paul_Gerritsen-1143974761.jpg

I left a message but see that he posted this photo a long enough time ago that he may not be reading comments on it. I also sent a person message but have no idea whether it was sent. Is there a way to email the photographer or by sending a person message do that?
Thanks for your input.

I sent him a personal message myself telling him of this topic in the discussion boards. Hope I was helpful. Good luck.

Thank you! I too sent a personal message but when you do, there is no message to tell you it was sent and to where if it was. I was hoping someone who helps run this forum would know the answer. Again thanks :)

Well, I don't run anything, but this might help.

When you send a personal message, it's sent to the user account for a particular member, where they'll see it when they log in, and (here's the key) read their messages. Now, if a fair amount of time has passed, one of two things occurred. Either the member didn't get (as in read) the message, or decided not to acknowledge it. If multiple messages go unanswered, it might be time to look to someone else for an image.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Yes it did. Thank you very much!

Annnnd ... if you notice, on Paul's personal profile page ... he hasn't logged onto the site since:

Last Visit: 25/06/08 13:51

Keep tabs on that aspect ... and give Paul a couple of days to catch-up on any other personal messages once he is back.


And thank you, for doing the right thing and messaging Paul for permission for usage. That ... is greatly appreciated.

It is a beautiful photo.

Let us know if he does message you back so we will know. Glad to be of some help. Les is the greatest at helping in these matters. Im just trying to learn some of the things he tells. Any questions can most likely be answer by Les.... o and Les is purmusic if you didnt know lol... Any other questions just let us know.. If i see that he gets on i will try to send him something if he didnt get the other messages for some strange reason.. but for right know waiting is about the only option.

There are tons of pictures on this website. I would try looking around with the Wallpaper search on the side of the homepage above the FAQs and below the Code of Conduct. If you know the name of the particular plant just type it in. Maybe some luck with that. As said above it is great that you took notice of getting concent before using.

Good luck.

Well it sure helps if I open my big eyes and read lol! I keep checking back to see if he has logged in and I discoverewd under his "user information", he has an email address. So I just emailed him and hope to hear from him one way or another soon.

&purmusic, You are welcome. I always ask permission if I use a photo as a reference. I have licensed some of my original artwork and totally respect copyrights.

ScoutPic Yes this photo is outstanding! It is also a huge challenge to paint which is why I wanted to.

I truly want to thank all of you for trying to help me.

Babs :)

I promise I won't clutter up this thread again lol. Scout, per your request, Paul was on holiday and did email me back today granting me permission to paint his photo for my "Flowers of Emotions" series. Thank you so much for all your help.
Barb :)

Ahh, good good ... I like happy endings to a story. :o)
