I need a royalty-free picture of a pigeon

[yesthattom]

I am making the cover of a book that I’m going to self-publish (I’m going to put all the April Fools RFCs in one place). I need a picture for the cover, and I was thinking that a simple picture of a pigeon would be cool, but I need one that is royalty free (or if you own the picture, I will send you a copy of the book for free). I don’t expect the book to make any money, it’s just something I’m doing so that I will have a copy of the book :-)

Do you have a super-duper high-resolution version of this bird?

1600x1200 is the best I got . . . . . . . .

http://www.sxc.hu/ is a great place for royalty-free images.

I'm going to chalk this up to a cold-induced brain fog, but for a full five seconds or so, I was trying to figure out why all the pigeon pictures you could find included the Queen of England, or some such person...

You can do a keyword search on Flickr and search by the flavor of CC license that best suits your needs.

You might also be able to get one dirt cheap from iStockPhoto.

I want a copy of the book!

I'm going to go: Me Too :-) It'd be fun to hand to some of my not-quite-as-geeky-friends,yet-still-geeky-enough for fun... or just to keep on my desk.

I can't wait to see this! I hope it's official-looking--I want to be able to pull a big, geeky-looking book off my desk and point at RFC 2321 to show that indeed, I do in fact need to purchase a rubber chicken for the network closet.

Does it need to be a pigeon? Or would a photograph of a marshmallow peep do?

[gravitrue.livejournal.com]

I think the postscript version of 2321 never made it into the archive for some reason. It has a photo (vs. ascii art). You want a copy (assuming I can dig one out...)?

I would love a copy!

Thanks!

It didn't arrive. Maybe a spam filter caught it?

Send it to yesthattom@livejournal.com and see if that goes through.
