Hi

I am a local poet and I have designed and created (well almost) some Liverpool themed, poetry greetings cards.

This is the site where I intend to promote the cards. It's in its early stages at the moment. (Ignore the image of Resurgent on there at the moment as I don't have permission to use it. I believe it belongs to Dave Woods of liverpoolpictorial.co.uk but I have had no response to the e-mails I have sent to him about using the image.)

http://www.liverpoolpoems.co.uk

I have very kindly been offered the use of some wonderful photographs by some local photographers but I still need to find one of "Liverpool Resurgent".

Because it's for commercial use, I can't just take any image off the net and would need the permission of the copyright holder to use the image.

I have no idea if my idea is going to make any money, so I can't pay you at this stage but I can offer you full credit on the reverse of the card for use of your image. I'll also send you some free cards! :)

If you have a good, high resolution photo of this statue and you own the copyright to it, can you please contact me ASAP at liverpool_poet@yahoo.co.uk as I need to get some samples printed up soon so I can get my project off the ground.

Regards

Hi Justine - thanks for using my Liver Bird image on the main page and welcome to the forum :PDT11

hi kev :)

thank YOU for letting me use it, it's a fab photo! As soon as I get the samples printed up, I'll be sending you some.

All the best

Justine

Cool - the best of luck with it :)

Hello Justine.
Welcome to the forum.

Why can't you take a photo yourself, or get a friend to take one for you?
Then you won't need to worry about copyright.

Hi Justine

Nice to meet a fellow poet. You can PM Dave Wood through this site about getting permission to use the Dickie Lewis image. He is scouserdave (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/member.php?u=431) here. Good luck.

Chris

Hi Justine. I like the otterspool poem :) :)

Hi Justine. I like the otterspool poem :) :)

Hi Justine

I also like the Liverpool wit and spirit expressed in the Otterspool poem. The photo goes well with it too and reminds me of a colour slide I took years ago about the same time in the evening and later did a painting of the mudbanks and the river and the bouys with the sun descending.

Chris

Good luck with your project and welcome to Yo

thank you for the replies so far and the nice comments :)



Philip, if I knew how to get a good shot of it and I had a half decent camera, then I would ;)

There are a number of photographers on Yo who might take up the challenge, (he saids dropping a big hint for you, Justine :) )

Maybe post the challenge on the Challenge/Contests board as well.

^^Challenge accepted^^ :PDT10

you guys are far too kind!

Funny though, I wonder what the future holds for poor Dickie now that Lewis's is closing down, anyone know?

They might remove him (like they did with Peter Pan) until the building has new owners. You never know, this might be your last chance, yikes! :eek:

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your help, you can always rely on a scouser! ;)

It looks like the challenge has been accepted. :handclap:
Unfortunately, the zoom on my camera is only 3x.

(Which is why I'm dropping heavy hints on another thread) :)

well, I thought I'd go and try and get a shot with me cheapo digi camera today and this was the result. Actually me hubbie took it, mine was crap as the sun was right behind the building!

Worra lovely day it was today, even went to the prom and had an ice cream! :)


I'm sure you guys could do far better though.

I know what I want for chrimbo now though, a really good camera! haha

There u go, job done :PDT11

do you think it's a good one though Kev?

Looks great

okay, thanks for all your help! :)

would you like one of each card or just a few of your Liver Bird one?

Let me know cos I can get cracking now getting the samples done.

Thanks again, everyone!

Why don't they put a leaf on his you know what! :mad::PDT_Xtremez_42:

it'd ruin me poem if they did that! :unibrow:

Man parts have to be censored.

I don't understand why woman chests are censored but man chests are never censored either.

There'd be a leaf on that statue If It was a woman.

okay, thanks for all your help! :)

one of each would be great!

I think they should leaf it as it is! :PDT11

one of each would be great!

no problem :)

Not a bad photo, serves the purpose. :PDT11

Thanks John. I might get into this photo lark, seems like fun! :)

Kev, I've been meaning to ask you, where were you when you took that photo of the Liver Bird?

On a more sombre note, doesn't it look like those cable ties are piercing it thru the heart? I kind of find that quite sad. I never realised how it was anchored til I saw your photo. The detail is incredible.
