Web and Tech: My First Wikipedia Contribution

October 2, 2006

A Flickr user wrote me this morning and asked if he could use this photo for the Wikipedia entries on Supermarket, Hypermarket and Fred Meyer. I am super thrilled by this for some reason.

You can see it here:

    Very cool! I like your version better than “the original” Gursky btw :)

  2. Hi Lyza,
    We have seen your image of the Fred Myer store food shelves and are interested in getting a high res version for one-time publication in our customer magazine. We are a global industry producing packaging machines and packaging material for food cartons, (see website) and this image would be super for us to use it in our nextcoming issue having the theme “A world of Packaging”.

    This is a serious request and I would really appreciate your quick reply to discuss this further. Have not succeede in finding any other contact info.
    With kind regards,
    Berit Schannong (Mrs)
