Default Asking for your help with photos to surprise my wife

Hello.

My name is Amir.
I'm trying to collect photos (with a printed page with a message from me to my wife) from places my wife and I visited in the past.
I will use them for a surprise video clip or presentation for my wife's birthday.

The locations I'm interested in are:
London
Italy: Dolomites, Cortina, Sappada, Tuscany, Venice, Lakes, Amalfi, Capri
USA: National parks, san-francisco, L.A., N.Y., Los vegas,

==>> other photos will be most welcome too!

If anyone can help me I'll be happy to explain more or to send example photos.

Thanks in advanced,
Amir.

are you asking us to give you images of these locations, or how to present your own images to your wife??

cross posting is not cool...

Hey Amir, go to Flickr.com its a photo site and many if not most of the photos there are free for you to dwonload and use. They have a license thing that tells you how you can use a photot, the majority of them are free to download and use as long as you are not trying to sell them.

Sounds like a nice way to build a free portfolio of stock images.

Hi.

First, sorry for the cross posting.
Just didn't know where to post - sorry...

What I'm asking is photos of the locations.
But with a personal touch:
I have a text page with a greeting. If I can send you the page and you guys can take photos with it - it would be great help for me.

I can send example to clear my wish, as my English is so-so...

Can you, please, help me for this "Romantic Project"?

Thanks,
Amir.

Hello and thank you for your replay.
My wish is to take photos in the locations but to show a text message to my wife.
I have this image file, with a greeting, that I can send.
If, you guys, can take a photo, with this page, in the locations - this will be a great help for my "Romantic Project".

Can you help, please?

Thanks,
Amir.

Are you asking for someone to combine photos that you have found with text?

This is actually a bit inaccurate.

The default license option on Flickr is "All Rights Reserved" so it is not true that most are free to use and download. However, if you're using Flickr's Creative Commons search that's a much better option. Then you can use those photos. Flickr: Creative Commons

I will send the message as an image file.
Someone, who is willing to help, will print the file and take a photo with it in the location.

Hope I managed to explain.
If not I'll try again.

Thanks,
Amir.
