RE: [Gimp-user] Sources of Public-Domain Photography and Images
Is it for autistic kids? Sounds like something they could really use. I could perhaps just take pics w/ my camera of whatever, royalty-free, and you could use it for that purpose. (My son is autistic, and from the research I've done it sounds like something parents w/ kids who have a communication-challenged child would need/want in their home.) What do you need pics of in particular? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Trefftzs Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Sources of Public-Domain Photography and Images On Fri, 2003-08-08 at 07:51, Jonathan Bartlett wrote: I'm looking for public-domain photography and drawings.

RE: [Gimp-user] Sources of Public-Domain Photography and Images
Maybe you could tell us an email address where we can send appropriate images off list.
{If you'd rather not broadcast that sort of thing online, does anyone have a spare subdomain with bandwidth disk space to start a repository?}
I think most of us probably have some connection with kids (or adults) with communication difficulties and this could be a really good thing.

And other similar problems. My son has a bizarre genetic problem that
has so far prevented him from speaking.

Yep, this is the basic idea. I don't know how well it will work, but it's
something my wife is wanting me to do, and Picture This! doesn't work on
Linux.
What do you need pics of in particular?
Everyday things. A bed, a potty, a plate of food, a television, different
toys, balls, a stroller/wheelchair, books, games, etc. Anything else you
want to take pictures of is good, too. The system I have in mind will be
generic enough to use for making GIMP into an application like Print Shop
as well. Basically, I'm going to have a set of templates, which will be
existing images with coordinates defined to put text or images.
The first release will be done in script-fu, so it's going to be pretty
ugly. However, if I have time, I may make it a full-blown plugin, so it
has a nice UI.
