My response to Ivana follows below. We'll see if I get a response. Thanks Mark, I basically plagiarized your wording when stating the terms. Making money from the deal is not my primary concern. Neither do I wish to simply give my photos away when it's for a commerical use.
-------------- Dear Ivana, I'm pleased you came across my photos and desire to publish them in a calendar. I wish to ask you what business you are associated with and the name of the business that would be receiving the calendars. My standard fee for using the photos is 50 USD per photo. Payment of the fee would grant a one time nontransferable nonexclusive license to reproduce 500 copies of each image effective for 30 days from date of invoice. The copyright of course would still be retained by me. I do not grant permission to use the low resolution web images for any use with or without an agreement, because of the resulting low quality that would be obtained in printiing. As you have stated I also would want the photo credit on the image with my name and name of photo, in a manner that fits in nicely with the design of the calendar, and would like to have 3 copies of the calendar itself. The 30 x 11 cm size you have mentioned seems at odds with the size of the images themselves. Would the images be presented by themselves, one per page? The images that you saw on the web were framed in black. If you do acquire the rights to use the images, I assume you would not want them with the black frame. If these terms are agreeeable to you, please let me know, or write so that we can discuss the terms.
