I need something related to gift. More specific someting you want to receive as gift, u know?

If do something specific, different people want different gifts: games (board), jewelry, different staff. I for example, want hammock, :) Do you have something specific in mind? If do abstract - maybe a gift box with lights out of it?

No, I was thinking more abstract. Like a picture which holds the joy of openning a nice gif. Like the walk of anyone when receiving the first car of his/her life.

I know my request is completly open and unespecified, but I want to see ur art.

Hey I am making a web site where you can meet up with other people who have ebola. It's like a cross between Match.com and Meetup, but for people who actively have ebola. A good cover image could be key. Maybe a picture of an ebola or some kid playing with an ebola stuffed animal. Something that promotes togetherness. TIA.

Are you banking on Ebola getting widespread?

I don't know if this will really improve your photography practice, but it would be great if you could give it a try anyway!

I'm looking for (blurred) background photos onto which we can put iPhones for our editor. To give you an idea, please see the second and fourth example on our landing page at http://www.screenscott.com (please hover).

I'm most interested in a picture of an US Downtown (such as SF), looking from a sidewalk down a street. I've taken similar pics when I was in the US, but a) I was pointing the camera up, but to look realistically, the horizon needs to be in the upper half of the picture and b) if blurred with the camera lens, the pic looks much better.

It would be awesome if you could help us out :) Thanks!

What are the terms and conditions you are providing these 'free' photos under please? You should consider it unlikely that a serious startup would use your photos based on 'genbit on HN said they were free - seems legit'.

Also, have you considered submitting images to sites like unsplash.com or skitterphoto.com, which basically offer the same thing but with a CC0 license?

And if it is just feedback you need there are plenty of photo communities online like Flickr where you can post images and solicit critical feedback.

It is a nice offer you make but posting something like this to HN is really limiting and cannot last long. I think you are better off looking elsewhere, so give it a try and good luck.
