Dear Jano,
Congratulations for your great blog and your nice photos.
I am a French (retired) engineer, now "re-Oriented" toward Egypt (ancient and modern), and leading a Internet project about hieroglyphics since 10 years.
I travelled many times in Egypt (11 times since the revolution) and I am preparing a book on the "graffiti of freedom", to commemorate the Street Art which exploded after January 25th, 2011, with a particular focus on "Freedom" and references to the Ancient Egypt Heritage.
I took myself a great number of pictures, but I miss few to illustrate my book. So I would greatly appreciate if I could use some of yours, and in particular the two from the "Freedom Painters". They gave me their authorization to publish their artwork, but I do not have a high resolution picture..
Should you agree, I will of course precisely refer to your copyright, in the exact terms you may wish (I suggest ©Jano Charbel).
Looking forward your answer, with my best regards,
Vincent Euverte
