Acknowledgments In a world growing less civil, it is important to say thank you to those that have either directly or indirectly contributed to the creation of this material. There are many ways to travel to Mali, but I believe the success of my trip was the result of the efforts of: Skip Horner Worldwide Expeditions phone number (406) 642-6840, One aspect of the art of photography can be its collaborative nature. With me, I am fortunate to have four talented photographers who review my work and push me to explore the world of fine art photography -- my spouse, Marianna, Bryan Trebelcock, John Wilson of Aperture
Photo Lab and The last gentleman is also the creator of the Mysterious Places web site. For his patience, I say thank you. The creation of a succinct and informative article is difficult. Preparing for the world wide web is even more challenging; therefore, I am fortunate to have had Bobbie Ackley read this text more times than either one of us would like to admit. Copyright issues are complex. The guidance I received from Carole Mulchinski is appreciated. Finally, the assistance of Gail Henderson with earlier drafts of this material is also appreciated. |

| If you use an image from this section about Mali, Africa for your screen saver or an educational project, please send me five dollars and no/100 ($5.00) United States currency. If you want to use more than one image for an educational project, please contact me. Depending upon the nature of your educational project, it may be possible to reduce the fee. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why am I charging a nominal amount for the use of an image? Very simple -- the cost to maintain the quality and variety of the Mysterious Places website is rising. The creator of Mysterious Places does not want to use banner advertisements to pay for the increasing costs associated with this unique web site. I want to help defray those costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I will use the $5.00 for the following purposes -- $2.00 will be given to the creator of Mysterious Places, $2.00 will be set aside to purchase simple medicines and school supplies that will be distributed in Mali, and $1.00 will be used for postage. Please send the payment to: Robert Donald Matthews 949-361-2758 or 1-888-989-9400

| I am a guest at the Mysterious Places web site. As a guest, I must conduct myself in a manner that reflects positively on this one-of-a-kind place. One aspect of displaying my work at this site is the possible association with other web sites and homepages. If you want to create a hypertext link between the Mali, Africa section and your web site or homepage, please contact me. Basic netiquette is very straightforward, that is, tell someone if you want to link with his or her location and remove the link if there is an objection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When I photographed the images in this section, I had permission. I know that if you want an image or text, you can take it. I also realize that if you take an image or text, I may never know that you did it. However, consider the following -- you are not only taking something from me, you are also taking from the people, places, and spirits featured in Mysterious Places. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
