Hi,
my name is Famke Vekeman and I'm from Belgium. I've got a question (not about the reeds though :). At the moment I'm writing an article for a Belgian historical magazine (http://users.pandora.be/kbov/een_nieuwe_start.htm) and the editors asked me to provide some illustrations as well.
The problem is, I've got some ideas, but most of the time you can't contact the person who's taken the picture of the painting or the sculpture (and te editor has to give a copyright). Until I found your site...
I wondered if the magazine could use you're picture of Giambologna's Sabinian virgins (www.mintchaos.com/onna/ photolog/Florence03.jpg)?
By the way, the pictures on your website are very beautiful and it certainly encourages people to travel around the world.
With my best regards.
Famke
