Montse said...: Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a researcher in University of Minho (Portugal) and I am currently developing a study of picture naming. For that matter, I am collecting images that I would like to use in my study and these images would be used in a exclusive research environment without any profitable aims.
In your web site we found an image that we would like to use in this study. It is a picture of a banjo. Could we get your approval to use this particular image or the contact of the original author?

Thank you in advance,
