Hello Mitch,

Can i ask you permission on using your Albert Einstein picture please?
I want to use it as a blooper in one of the video embeds that i am currently doing.

Hope to get a positive reply from you soon.

Thanks.

Hi Nikki,

Zachary Copfer is the name of the photographer and microbiologist who created the Einstein image. His contact information can be found on his website. You will need to get permission to use the image from him.

Best,
Mitch

Hello,

thanks for the Men at Lunch trailer which I was looking for. Still giving me goosebumps to watch these guys doing their job, when I'm not even climbing up ladders...

Thanks,
Christoph
