Please do ask for permission before using any of my photos if your intension is to use them for lucrative or business purposes! ...it takes me time and money to realise these photos/graphics...sure you can use them for your own private project or public projects if it's not lucrative (if not for business purposes), in this case you need no permission but in return as a little thank I ask you to refer to me as author. Good luck! :)
