Hi Eric,this is a really round about way of getting you a message, but I googled your name and found your blog. My name is Cathy Witbeck. I am a children's writer and illustrator. Currently I am working on an article about Wind Cave. While looking for a tunnel entrance photo, I came across your photo on google (flickr). May I please have permission to use your photo in my article. I would send you a permission form that you would need to sign and then send on to my editor (of course I would include a stamped, addressed envelope).
