Hi everyone!

I am in the very final steps of writing a guide to timesharing that I will be self-publishing in a few weeks. It's full of consumer-oriented advice and recommends that people join TUG, buy resale, etc. I've put a lot of effort into this and feel it's a great project that will benefit a lot of people new to timesharing or who own a timeshare and want to get the most out of it.

Anyway, I'm currently typesetting the guide and need a couple of copyright-free photos. Instead of buying something "generic" from a photo company I thought it'd be more fun to invite submissions from folks here, and you will be given a full photo credit in the guide if I choose your photo.

The main picture I need is something in color for the front cover. It should be good resolution and show a timeshare resort by the ocean with palm trees, ideally with a glimpse of the pool. Something like that. I copied this photo from the Internet that gives a pretty good feel for what I'm looking for, and you can access it here:

I would use this very photo except I need to be able to give a credit to the photographer and not infringe on copyright.

I would also like to get a couple of decent photos of condo interiors showing just how nice these places can be. A view from a nice clean kitchen into a living/dining room would be good (should have nice lighting and no mess) and also a view from a bedroom into an ensuite bathroom with a roman tub.

Anyway, let me know if you have something suitable and I'll follow up with you. Photo Bucket is a good place for posting such items for sharing, and it's free, so use that or something similar if you can as I imagine sharing photos through this website might pose technical challenges.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Okay, I am closing this off now. No response except from Swift, who will receive a free copy of the PDF version of the guide as thanks for her sending me some stuff via PM.

I DID obtain some amazing shots from iconnections over at the TS4MS and will use some of those.

How are you going to sell it and are you going to give a TUG discount or post a sample Table of Contents?
