I arrived home at my apartment late from work, entered into my front door and i found the letter underneath the door mat inside. I opened the letter and it says: Your package is in the office. I was puzzled, knew that I didn't order anything special from online or else. I decide to rush to office before the office closes in a half hour. During walking down to office from my apartment, I kept thinking - who it comes from? What is it? And why?
I stopped my office, picking up the package, looks flat, cardboard cover - can tell myself from inside - it is hardcover book, and weight around less 5 pounds, and I popped up in my mind why this package shipped directly to me:
Dated on 9/12/2007 in Gmail, Walter emailed me through Flickr:
Hello.I'm a photo editor working on a book about Pittsburgh. We would like to
use an image I found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveynin/7440644/It would be used 3/4 page size and our format is landscape, 12" wide. Is
the largest size what you have on Flickr? Please let me know.
This is it! I immediately came home and read the gift book titled, "PITTSBURGH Smart City" (ISBN 978-1-82933-83-9), this book is YET to publish. My copyright photo is on page xxvii, and my name / web address is on page 264, first column, bottom very last line.
The photo I chose as my 25 favorite photos of year 2004, and we are in same boat - the publisher chose the same photo! The photo is taken by my old 2 megapixel Canon PowerShot S330 (properties about this photo), and it looking good in the book!
Is it too much to say in my blog? It is not my first time my name published in the book or magazine, take a look what it happened back in 2003.
They found my photo.
Asked for permission.
Published in nation.
This is the reason I love Flickr.

Did they pay you for using your image for their book?
