Hello, Dirk:

First, your photo galleries are amazing, very nice work.

I am preparing a scholarly book on Land Crabs of the World (tentative title) and would like permission to use your photo of Coenobita compressus taken on a pebble beach in Ecuador. It is posted on Wikipedia, but the licensing restrictions were not clearly stated. If you give permission to publish it, I would attribute it as you request. I would also like to get the location in Ecuador where your photo was taken and anything else you might wish to share (time of day, was it posed or taken where it was discovered) and date photo was taken. The posted photo has sufficient resolution, so I wouldn't need a larger size. I am hoping to submit the manuscript to an academic publisher in 2016. I can provide a release form for you and will keep you apprised of progress. If you have other land crab photos from your travels that you would like to share, I would appreciate your input.

Thank you for your consideration,

Lawrence W. Powers, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Natural Sciences Oregon Institute of Technology Klamath Falls, Oregon USA
