	stufna says: a difficult shot to take! well done! I work for a publishing firm based in Hong Kong. Whilst researching photographs for a historical book on the Middle East, I came across your photographs on Flickr. I was wondering if we would be able to feature them in the book? We will credit you fully in the book, and also send you a copy when it is published, in November this year. If this is something you would like to do, we would need the photograph in its maximum resolution, which can be uploaded onto our ftp site. If you would like to be involved in this project, please email me and I will send you the log in details. In the meantime, if you have any questions, or would like any further information, please do let me know. Warm Regards Stephanie Stephanie.brown@ppp.com.hk Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
