> Dear Adrienne, Albert and Emily,
> I am contacting the three of you concerning the "Lakalaka, Dances and

> Intangible Heritage of Humanity in November 2003.
> The Intangible Heritage Section is currently preparing to publish a
> picture book on the proclaimed Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible
> Heritage of Humanity. In this regard, we are looking for "high quality"
> pictures of the Masterpieces, and we would like to seek your help to

> documentation of each Masterpiece.
> The pictures that we are searching should show different aspects of the
> masterpiece such as: the masterpiece itself, educational training,
> transmission, tradition, use of objects, preparation, etc. It should
> show people in action, people executing it or playing the scene, as well
> as the audience if pertinent. We would like to insist on the quality of
> the picture (artistic, colorful, good light, etc.). We prefer not to use
> digital pictures except if they are already in a high quality format
> (large picture size between 300-600DPI for minimum post card size). In
> order for us to be able to digitize and print them in a big format for
> the book, we would like to receive the pictures in either negatives or
> slides.
> It would help us greatly if we could obtain the photos for free of

> respect the copyright, please indicate to us the name of the
> photographer and his/her contact information in order for us to forward

> us.
> Therefore, I shall be most grateful if you could send me some pictures

> Thank you very much in advance for your kind help.
