User:Fæ/photo request

Dear Sir,

I am writing with regard to your help in providing a promotional image for yourself and in my capacity as one of the many volunteer editors of the English Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org), the free encyclopaedia. Unfortunately, our article about you does not have the advantage of a public domain or free release image.

I am aware that there are images available on your website, but since Wikipedia aims to be reproduce-able even for profit and even in nations where generous United States "fair use" provisions in copyright law are inapplicable, we cannot use an image that is not released under a so-called "free license". Essentially, the copyright holder of any image that we use must irrevocably permit anyone else to use it, modify it, or sell it, with the only permissible requirements being that the author be named and that any modifications be released under an identical license.

Perhaps you have an informally taken photograph that you or the original photographer would be happy to release?

A proforma release statement is available on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consent

Thank you for your time.
