Hello,

I am a photo researcher at Crabtree
Publishing Company. Crabtree creates non-fiction books for children
grades 1-8. We are currently working on a new book entitled
"Tropical Oceans" which will be part of our "Living Oceans" series.
For this book, we would like to include a before and after picture of
the Thailand Tsunami. I happen to notice on your website that you
have some images that may work for our book. We are interested in
the first set of before and after shots showing quiet bungalows on
Dec. 25, 2004 and the same view on Jan. 1, 2005. Could you tell me
whether these images are available for reproduction? If so, could
you tell me whether you have them available as hi-res digital files
(we would need them at least a 5x7 size at 300dpi), prints or
slides? I would also like to know if all your images on your website
are the same file size and whether there is a fee for reproduction?
For your reference, the following are the details of the book for
which we would be using the images:

Thank you for taking the time to review my request. If you could get
back to me as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it.
