 Los_Angeles_Pollution.jpg file in Rachel Carson film? 

Dear David,

I love your photo ""http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Los_Angeles_Pollution.jpg"" and would like to use it in a Rachel Carson video that I'm currently working on. I filmed several notable authors, scientists, and historians at a couple of events dedicated to the life and work of Rachel Carson, and I'm creating an hour-long compilation video that I plan to sell as a DVD (and possibly other formats). I could use your picture under the creative commons license that you have listed except that I cannot adhere to the share-alike clause. Would it be possible for you to waive that clause for my aforementioned use?

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,
Mark Dixon
