Photographers please look in maybe you can help

Hi folks...
Last year as part of a destressing experiment I joined an art group called creative alternatives.. they are local to me here in Liverpool working under the umbrella of the NHS
We did all kinds: painting/modellmaking/garden design and MY FAVORITE creative writing
Using varius stimuli in the creative writing evenings we made up some short stories and poems individually

I found the best stimulus was to gather a pile of photographs (any subject) and a few words cut from newspapers and magazines etc then using these create a word work

Sooooo....: I was wondering if possibly any of you had a couple or few spare photo prints that you wouldn't mind sending to me (to Keep) in the post so that I can continue with my creativity
please no filthy or children pics

I would be very grateful if you could help out so pm me if you can

Cheers

Ned

Ned, i don't mean this to sound rude , but that's quite a weird post
Why don't you just "google image" some photos then get some random news copy ?

Where do you go for photos?

FYI many people who upload pics to a photo hosting site have a creative license attached to their photo

Sureley that is for copyright purposes???
In my case I would look at a picture of a row of houses say.. then in one of my poems or stories I might include a "scruffy Hedge" or "Blue door"
In my mind that is not copyright infringement

Is this what you meant by your post???
wasn't sure

If you do find inspiration and use any pics, I would appreciate you letting me know and accrediting the pics you use to me.

Cheers

Hi I only quickly clicked on your link and eye scanned the opening page.. absolutely perfect... I won't print any off but will sit with a notebook and write down some quick observations later then hopefully something will flash into my mind
Please be assured that anything I write will have an accreditation to your good self

Thankyou so very much
I have a small few personally taken photo's but they are just local ones were I have lived for 39 years and my mind is "stale" with the area which is why I posted origionally

Thankyou again

Ned

Re: Photographers please look in maybe you can help

Some people here have berated my op I feel
which is a shame.. I could as suggested of just googled or gone to flickr BUT instead I have asked if people would PLEASE kindly let me use a couple of their images to draw upon for inspiration..

If someone did allow me to use their pics, and they liked something I had written then they would feel satisfied that their efforts have been useful and would get a happy feeling maybe, "fleeting"; but all the same LESS GLOOM for a moment

IT'S GOOD TO SMILE

Ned

Good luck.
