[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Photo's

[Don Ingle]

Jeff: That's a tad bit poor choice of wording. Most would help you out 
if they can or want to, but when you say, "so professional prices for 
photos would not be possible this time around,"  it sounds like the same 
argument often used on professional players who are asked to play for 
free or skimpy pay. Let the owner of a photo donate if he wants, but 
don't put it as you did -- work has value in photography or music.
Sorry to nit-pick, but it would be better to just ask if someone would 
donate the photo, and leave off the part about your limited budget since 
you stand to benefit from others' work. Let the photo owner make that 
decision of his or her own worths value..
