Greetings from Kyoto Japan.
i edit a non-profit magazine called Kyoto Journal (www.kyotojournal.org). We have an article about Silk Road music and needs some photos to go along with it. I wonder if it might be possible to use one or two of the images on your website. We can offer a free subscription.
