The Schmap Minneapols guide people asked if they could use one of my photos in their Schmap guide. I couldn't think of any reason not to say yes. So there it is.
It's pretty smart of them to get photos from people on Flickr. Instant advertising. I mean, here I am talking about the Schmap guide when I've never even heard of it before.

They asked me for one of my photos a while back, to illustrate an article on European museums. The picture in question was taken at the Chagall Museum in Nice, and it was of a Della Robbia figure that had been there in a visiting exhibit. It had so little to do with the 'Chagall' aspect of the Chagall Museum that I thought their request was as misguided as it was flattering, so I decided to go with 'no'.

Flattering to get attention for your photos, even if they're a bit, uh, mis-guided at times.

I had a photo used in some guide of Oxford, England. Yes, very clever indeed.
