To Fchapm@state.wy.us Date: 1 June 2005 Hello Fred, Laura Blair suggested I contact you. We are looking for the photographer who took and/or owns the rights to the attached image of the Bighorn Medicine Wheel. We are preparing a web site to be part of our NASA associated Education and Public Outreach program. Our site is intended to support the NASA special series on "Ancient Observatories". We like the image very much and would like to include it on our web page. But we are having difficulty locating the photographer. Do you happen to know who it was and how we might contact them? Thanks very much for any help.

I had to change offices and it took forever...where did all this stuff come from? Yes, that is the poster I was going to offer you. If you are interested in that poster, contact Fred Chapman, Fchapm@state.wy.us He is our archaeologist and probably knows the person who took the picture and can get you their phone number. Laura Blair Webmaster =================================================================== ` Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 15:24:29 -0700 From: Deborah Scherrer To: svarese@ucdavis.edu Subject: use of your(?) imagery Hello Dr. Varese, I am Deborah Scherrer, and I direct the Stanford Solar Center, and education arm of the Solar Observatories Group here at Stanford. We are currently preparing a web site to support the NASA education focus on ancient observatories. The Stanford part highlights medicine wheels, in particular the one in the Bighorn mountains in Wyoming. Our (as yet unreleased) site is: http://solar-center.stanford.edu/AO/ We have found an image that once appeared on a website you or your colleagues created: http://cougar.ucdavis.edu/nas/varese/nas191/Mark/ndnsacredsites.html Since that site no longer exists, I've atached a copy of the image we are interested in. We are trying to track down the owner of the image to ask for permission to use it on our Medicine Wheel website. We would, of course, give full credit and include any specified copyright or other use notice. Is this your image? And, if so, would it be possible to use it on our website? If this is not your image, do you have any idea where it came from? Thank you very much for any help you could give us in locating the owner of this beautiful photograph. Deborah Scherrer Director, Stanford Solar Center ========================================================= Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 12:49:34 -0700 From: Deborah Scherrer To: Laura Blair Subject: Re: use of image from web Laura, again thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful photograph. We are using it on this, and a couple other, pages: http://solar-center.stanford.edu/AO/bighorn.html Also, I am very intrigued with your poster. Yes, we would very much like to receive a copy. It should be sent to: Deborah Scherrer Stanford Solar Center Stanford University HEPL-4085 455 Via Palou Stanford, CA 94305-4085 We are more than willing to pay for the poster and for the postage. Just let me know the amount. Also, by any chance, is your poster image the one I've attached? If so, you are right, it is gorgeous. We found it on the web, but have not been able to track down the original owner. Do you know who made the poster and thus who might own the rights to the image? Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks for any info you may have on permission to use this image. I can't give you permission to use the photo, because I didn't take it. I've been slowly going through my web-pages and trying to get photo attributions properly sorted out, but in all honesty, I can't even recall where I got it from. Sloppy of me, I admit. If you *do* find out its origins, let me know so I can add attribution on my page.

Hi Paul, I was rummaging around on the web trying to find particularly fine imagery to use on a new website we here at the Stanford Solar Center are compiling. The webside development is part of our NASA associated Education and Public Outreach program. In particular our site on Medicine Wheels supports the NASA special series on "Ancient Observatories". We would like to include the image of an arial view of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel, linked from your page at: http://odin.physastro.mnsu.edu/~eskridge/astr102/week2.html Our website, where we would like to make use the image, is: http://solar-center.stanford.edu/AO/bighorn-medwheel.html We would, of course, give the photographer (you?) full credit with an appropriate citation. Thanks for any info you may have on permission to use this image. Deborah Scherrer Director, Stanford Solar Center Solar Observatories Group Stanford University
