Dear lumix2004 [Bill],

I'm writing about image #542404.

Hello,

I intend to use this image as a cover on my eHow article, 'How to Escape a Bear in the Woods.' Granted, there is no Bear in the photo. But, it is a scene in which you could expect to see a Bear emerge at any time.

I have a friend who says she will draw me an image of a hiker facing a Bear in the woods. Depending on what that looks like, it will either bump your photo, or be placed in the body of the article. I am leaning towards the second option, myself.

Very nice photo!

-Thank you!

Best regards,

Dutch Idol Winner uses my Angel Wings photo

Time Magazine ???

Hi
I was perusing your gallery on SXC (your work is very good by the way) when I came across one of your images that I thought I recognized. The image in question is #322395 with pictures of the small baby dolls in the palm of a hand.

It only took me a few seconds to realise why the image was so familiar to me. I checked my back log of TIME magazines and there on the February 26, 2007 issue on the cover of TIME is an image which bears striking similarity to your own. At first I though it was the same image, but the cover photograph was taken by world renowned photographer Dana Lixenberg.

This begs the question. Your image was uploaded in 2005 and the TIME cover only came out recently. I was wondering if you had seen the cover, and if so, don't you find it amazing that 2 years after you upload your image, a very similar concept graces the cover of TIME magazine?

Anyway, from one SXC user to another, I thought I'd just let you know, although I'm probably not the only one who has noticed the resemblance.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. You can email me.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful photographs. I write for our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, and use the poems in both post cards for our church and greeting cards for sale (on a very small scale) which supports my ministry of encouragement to others.

Your photo, enlightened praise will be used on a get well card with the following poem...

Magnify Our Lord Now

I lift my voice to Heaven,
praise flowing from my soul.
Our Lord has answered once again
proving He's in control.

The touch of just one finger
releases the healing balm
that flows o'er my whole body
relieving pain, bringing calm.

Sleep that had eluded me
was now blissfully sweet
as God's miracle of healing
covered me from head to feet.

Come, magnify our Lord now,
give thanks to Him with me
for prayers were quickly answered
when we prayed in harmony.

Dorothea K. Barwick 6-21-2006

Naturally your name and country will be noted on the back as photographer.
Thank you again for sharing what God has allowed you to capture of His magnificant creation. If you ever have one with a lot of hands raised (like 3 or 4 couples with just from elbows to wrist with a beautiful sunset or sunrise, or even just on white background, I'd love to use it with another poem.

With blessings,

Personal Website Theme

Hi Bill,

I used a photo of yours to develop a theme for my personal web site. As I read about you at your site, I was amazed at what a small world it is.

I live in Phoenix, AZ now, but not for much longer. I work for Campus Crusade for Christ and soon my family and I will be moving to Florida.

Anyway, I thought that your picture would work great for the theme I wanted to make and I think it came out pretty nice. You can see it at http://jr.thepeckfamily.us (our main site tells more about our ministry and campus crusade - http://thepeckfamily.us)

I did have to modify your photo for size and so that the heading for the page could be read. I'm not a graphics arts person, so it all could be done better I am sure, but I am pleased with the outcome.

I've zipped up the theme and made it available for download. I built the theme using an existing WordPress theme that was available the same way. I have credited you as the photographer in the package that a person would download to install the theme if they wanted to use it.

Thanks for sharing your photographs. Thank you also for the work you are doing with pregnant women. My wife and I support the Crisis Pregnancy Center near where we live and have had opportunity to minister to a young woman going through an unplanned pregnancy right now. It is an important ministry and we thank God for people like you who are a part of it. Keep up the good work.

Your brother in Christ,

JR Peck

TGV in the Netherlands

Hi
I have a small graphic design company, and I would like to use your photo "Hug a Tree" for a print.
It is for small Dutch non-profit organisation for youth care providing specialist help for children who cannot stay with their natural parents because of complex problems and therefore have to live in foster homes or adoptive families.
As there are long waiting lists for children waiting to be placed in foster homes TGV [the non-profit organisation] are eagerly looking for new foster parents who are not afraid to take a problem child into their families.
For this purpose TGV started a recruitment campaign. I designed a new brochure. The selected photo is not only special and high quality, it is also quite illustrative of the text.

Thanks!

Family Care Network, California

Bill!
Thank you first and foremost for your openness about God's creation! How encouraging that is! Way to be bold!
Thank you also for your hug a tree picture. I have used it in our recent newsletter and annual report. I work for a non-profit agency called Family Care Network, and we provide foster care, counseling for children and families all in the central coast in California. Out of about 110 employees, about 80% of us are Christian. I just started working here but what a difference a Christian environment does! The scripture that our company uses as its encouragement is James 1:27.
Thanks again for your comments regarding the delightfulness of God! God bless you in your photography. If you do more pictures of children, our company is always looking for good images to use in newsletters, reports, flyers, etc.

Find Joy Website

Hello Bill!
I share your appreciation for God's creation and for Jesus's sacrifice and love.
My first attempt at a web site just went live today: (combining the power of God with the power of the internet).
There are photos on the site, depicting many forms of joy, at all ages and stages of life.
Two of your photos have prominent positions on this site. "Enlightened Praise" is the banner that sets the tone for the entire site. I apologize for cropping the bottom of the photo. It was absolutely beautiful but could not be used for my purpose...as a site banner...without taking off the bottom. It still says it all.
The second photo "fall"en asleep", is at the very end, right above what I consider to be the "hands of God". The symbolism is that we can all have the carefree peace of a child asleep in the leaves, safe in God's loving hands.
Thank you so much for posting these. You have a deep spirituality to your work.
My prayer is that God will lead people to as He directs and that He will use the site to reach people for his kingdom.
I will add more pages as God directs, so I will likely be contacting you again.
Enjoy the site!
Regards,
Linda Pelletier

Bulletin Cover

Dear Bill,
I was so touched by your photo, "The Tree," and also by the descriptive text you included with it.
With your permission I would like to design a bulletin cover using both the text and photo, probably close to Easter. I pray God blesses you and your continued photographic witness. EllenH

[Text with photo: "The Tree
In a little grave yard on the Wolfville Ridge overlooking Gaspereau Valley of Nova Scotia, Canada, stands this cross. Behind it, as the sun illuminates the sky after its setting, a tree stripped bare of its leaves by a raging wind storm a few days before ... How well that tree knows the hope only its Maker can give ... the hope of new life after the deathly cold of winter ... What fruit that nearer tree did bear that dreadfully dark day as the Answer to all our ills hung to die a rejected King ... What amazing grace that any of this makes sense to a puny worm as I."]

"Arise" CD Cover

Mr. Davenport,
My name is Tom McCartney and I do pro bono graphics work for different Christian ministries. I came across your "Enlightened Praise" photo and wanted to use it on a CD cover for a family who travels leading worship and praise in and around Texas. I saw that you had no restrictions on the photo but wanted to see if you would like a credit on the CD jacket for the photo and if so what you would like.
As it is now I have included the following text: "Photo by Bill Davenport: Light 'n Shadow Photography"

Here are the preliminary proofs. I am sure there are some tweaks that will need to take place as it was pretty late when I was working on it all. Also, I will see if I can get a few of them in the mail once they are completed.
Thought you also might like to know that I just recently finished a video for the Southern Baptist Texas Convention to support their disaster relief team efforts. The reason that I mention it is that the gentleman that headed up their efforts for Katrina, Rita, and a few others recently was named "Bill Davenport" and he is one of the finest men I have met in quite awhile.
I also wanted to let you know that your photos are fabulous. I didn�t get a chance to look at your site much tonight but did some browsing and your composition is wonderful and you are quite talented. It is great to see such talents being used to serve the Lord and your willingness to apply proper credit (to Him) where it is due is refreshing as well.
Also, the family that is producing this CD have a fantastic ministry and are truly committed Christians. I support their website and have done graphics for them for about 6 years now and they are truly a blessing. I think that the spirit of your image and their music is a literal "match made in Heaven" if you know what I mean.

Sermon PowerPoint Background

Hi.

Caring Ministry Cards, Good Shepherd Lutheran, East Troy, WI

Hello Bill!
I saw one of your photos called "Newbie" that we would like to use for our church Caring Ministry Team. Part of our team ministry at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in East Troy, WI is to send greeting cards to our church families who have experienced different life situations such as needing encouragement, a death in the family, surgery or illness.
We have decided to begin including new parents more in this ministry also. We looked into many card companies for cards really appropriate, but did not find anything that worked well. That's when we decided to make our own cards.
Your photo of the newborn lends itself so well to what we are looking for. You have a beautiful photo of the newborn that could be used with a bible verse to send to new parents.
We would like permission to use your photo for these cards. The cards would not be sold or used commercially in any way. They would only be designed and used for our own church families. I will wait to hear from you. Thanks, Caring Ministry, Good Shepherd Lutheran.

National Christian Art Library

Bill,

I find (your photo) "frustrated carpenter" to be very interesting.

I work for a religious news organization. We print custom newspapers for local church congregations around the country and I am trying to put together a library of Christian art for the editors of the papers to use. I came across your photos and was curious if we could have permission to put your photos into the collection. The library would only be accessible to the editors of the papers we print and not the general public. The library would be used by the editors as a source for content to place in their newspaper each week. These newspapers are distributed to their congregations and not the general public. We would not be charging for access to the library. We would possibly want to use some as graphic elements in web page designs as well.

Peace,

Alan
