"8clos" Single CD Cover

8clos
2008.

Hi !  My name is Emmanuel and I live in Belgium.  I'm a member of a pop-rock french-speaking band "8clos" (litterally : huit clos). It sounds exactly like "huis clos", which in French means "doors shut". A secret meeting can be held "à huis clos", meaning that no one should hear or see what happens. Moreover, a "huis clos" is an intimate theater play, and Jean Paul Sartre wrote a famous play called "Huis clos".  We just recorded our first four-track CD to send it to concerts organizers and hope this will get us gigs in bigger places than those we played in.  We now only need to print the cover and found this beautiful picture of a shut door on the internet. We would be extremely grateful to you if you allowed to use it on our cover. Unfortunately, as we are not professionals, we cannot afford to pay for it. Whether you should agree to let us use your picture, we would of course clearly credit you on the CD cover. Just to give you an idea of our style, please visit http://demo.8clos.net/index.htm  Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need further information.  Yours sincerely,  Emmanuel Pinto  epinto@chu.ulg.ac.be 8.

개인 홈페이지를 운영하고 있을 때, 홈페이지에는 작업한 사진들과 글들을 올려두었었다.
어떻게 찾아왔는지 모르지만 (아마 검색어 'Closed door'로 찾아온 듯. 홈페이지에는 제목을 모두 영어로 표기했었다.) 벨기에 록밴드의 멤버가 사진을 쓰고 싶다고 했고, 계좌도 없던 때라 사진값을 받기도 그렇고 해서, 저작권을 명시하는 조건으로 사진을 제공했다.
그리고 몇 달 후 앨범이 나왔다며 씨디를 하나 보내왔다. 세 곡이 들어있는 싱글 앨범이었다.
이후 한동안 홈페이지에 새로운 앨범들을 소개하는 것 같더니 어느날 찾아가보니 홈페이지가 사라졌다.
