[edit] Re: Image:Chaffa.jpg

Thanks for the contribution of this picture! Always a good thing to have more images with free licenses. (I need to make the time to examine the photos my Dad took of his trips to Sudan & Nigeria & to find some worth releasing under CC.) Would you also have one to share for Kemise? -- llywrch 22:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, but it appears that I donʼt have so many photos of the town, which really bothers me sometimes because I spent so much time there. The reason is that you don’t think too much about taking pictures of the things you see every day. I only used take the camera when I did a tour to some other places. So what kind of photo are you thinking of? Driss 23:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
In regards to Ethiopia -- or subjects my Dad took pictures of? -- llywrch 06:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Since I am not a native speaker of English, I didn't exactly understand your last answer, or in other words, what is the connection to my response? What I meant is what kind of photo of Kemise? Driss 07:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
My apologies for being unclear -- I was confused because you answered my question completely until that last sentence. When I requested a picture of Kemise, I was thinking of any sort of image that would either accurately portray the town as a whole, or some part of it that would serve to evoke it. As an example, look at the image that accompanies Vernonia, Oregon: it's not really a picture of the city, only a shot of the park in the town. -- llywrch 23:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
No, it was my fault. I had read your question too fast and forgot the part with your Dad. Than I got confused when you wrote you second question. Sorry, sometimes it would be better to take my time and read carefully. That happens when you do things like this in-between other work. Actually I can try to find a number of different photos.

I just uploaded two photos of Kemise: Image:Kemise_market_day_2002_01.jpg and Image:Kemise_shops_2004.jpg. I hope one of the will be usefull. Driss 13:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Both good choices. Thanks! -- llywrch 02:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
