Documentation of permission to use

Hello Milton,

You are free to use the photo you found on the Port’s website. All that we ask is you please credit the Port of Los Angeles as your photo source. A link to our website (www.portoflosangeles.org) might also be appropriate, where the Port is mentioned specifically. If the section is just about air quality in general, though, it won’t be necessary. Thank you!

Best regards,

Subject: Requesting permission to use photograph from your website

Ms. Rachel Campbell:

I am a retired chemical engineer and would like permission to use a photo of an air quality monitoring station from your website in an article that I am writing about air quality indices (AQI) in the Citizendium online, free encyclopedia. A copy of the specific photo is attached below and it was obtained from http://www.portoflosangeles.org/environment/air_quality.asp

Citizendium is a non-profit, free online encyclopedia. Volunteer editors, including university professors and other experts, review all articles before they receive final approval. Unpaid volunteer authors, like myself, must be vetted and approved before they can contribute any articles and all authors must use their real names. You may visit the Citizendium at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Main_Page to learn more.

If you would grant us the permission to use the photo as a public educational service, we would be most grateful. We would prefer the photos be released under a Creative Commons (CC) license ( see http://creativecommons.org/license/ ), but will gladly accept the terms with which you are most comfortable.

Your photo will be viewable worldwide and will be conspicuously labeled "CC Photo:The Port of Los Angeles " (or any other name that you specify). If at any time in the future you request the photos' removal, such request will be honored.

Assuming that permission is granted, I will need to receive an email signed by you stating that permission is granted. We are not otherwise allowed to use photos.

Thanking you for your consideration, I am
