Dear Gotz,
 
Hey ... I'm a dryball too ... having once described a new goby = and a freshwater polychaete.
 
For images designed to help colleagues understand correct colouration t= here is no charge. Only an acknowledgement. For photos used in public displa= ys I would need a small fee ... which is always entirely negotiable!
 
And if it turns out your institution is broke ... well that's negotiabl= e too. It might cost a few beers if I ever visit Bremen.
 
Let me know what you are interested in.
 
I can upload high res copies to my website for you to download.
 
Cheers,
 
Paddy
