Dear Pierre-Yves and all, I hope you all are doing great !
I know that the Saudi government invests in covering the Hajj with professional photographers (around 30). It would be great if we could ask them to donate those pictures. We could start this conversation through the Saudi contributors, or if you want I could ping someone who could help to initiate this conversation with their Royal Court - Diwan. Or may be through Misk Foundation ? This would let us optimise work and spend the potential budget in a more relevant work/initiative.
