Hi Kala, I’m absolutely fond of your pictures. I’m part of a small non-profit organisation and would love to use one of your pictures on the cover of our next project. Would that be okay for you? I would be happy to mention your name and send you a free copy of the book. I wanted to contact you in person but couldn’t find any email address or contact form. Please drop me a mail. Thanks!!
