The project is purely for use by care workers in the Suffolk County area with around 100-200 copies of the DVD being produced.

We would love your permission to use this photo. Please let me know

Dear Joseph,

Thanks for your words of encouragement. You must have me confused  with someone
else but thanks anyway. As far as using some of my photographs in  your book
that will be fine with me. Just let me know how I might be of  assistance.

Andy

Hello Andrew,

Allow me to introduce myself.
I am an animator, with almost 30 years professional experience,  most of it as
a special effects animator, and most of it in the old school, hand  drawn
technique, although I have also been heavily involved in digital
animation and photography over the past ten years or so. You can  find my resume at

www.joegilland.com/resume.html

I hope you can take the time to read through it, so you'll know me  a little better.

I am currently writing a book on the fine art of hand drawn special
effects animation. This is a very important book, as this truly is  a dying
art form, and no one has ever written a definitive 'how to' book  of this sort.
I have a wonderful publisher and distributer behind me 100%, and I  am very excited
to be writing and illustrating this book. My friends and  colleagues in the industry have
been imploring me to write it for ages, and its time has finally  come!

Last Sunday afternoon I visited the 'Massive Change' Exhibition  here in Vancouver,
and was delighted to find a wonderful collection of your photos on  the floor and walls
of one section of the exhibition. I am familiar with your work,  and it reminded me that
I have been meaning to try and contact you, to find out if I could  use some of your
fantastic images in my book. Whether you know it or not, your  photos have been an
enormous inspiration to countless animators, especially special  effects animators. We look
reality through a lens that reduces seconds to slices of twenty- four, and we have always
refered to the work of the great experimental photographers and  cinematographers like
Eadweard Muybridge and yourself to help us understand the nature  of elements in action....

Your photos have a very special place in my heart and would find a  very special
place in my book as well. Please let me know if you would like to  know more, or if you
have any concerns about me using your photos. I will be happy to  show you the context
in which they wil be used, and of course you would be given full  credit and honorable mention,
should I be so fortunate as to get your permission to use your  photos....

Looking forward to hearing from you,
regards,

Joseph
