29th January 2010 - Clive Sandon - Queensland, Australia "Hi Max, Currently at our school, we play an antiquated version of our National Anthem for parade. Recently we moved indoors for our parade and this has opened up a possibility of adding video images to the anthem. I recently decided to create a PowerPoint to go with the anthem, but I came across you site and thoroughly enjoyed the National Anthem sung by Troy, Gina & Lee. I should have a copy of this track soon & was wondering if you give permission for schools to use your photographs & if so, how do I go about getting them. On top of that, do you know of any modern audio/visual presentation that could be used for the aforementioned purpose? Thanks for your consideration, Clive Sandon. (Northpine Christian College)" Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G’day Clive, At our church we often use PowerPoint to create AVs – you can add sounds and effects with some great results and we run them from a computer into the digital projector. We also use Media Shout to run our words for songs, which also runs PowerPoints as well. All of my images are free for non-commercial purposes – schools included. Many of my images can be clicked to show a 800 x 600 size suitable for PowerPoints. Just right-click on the image and save it somewhere for later use. If the images you want are not around 800 wide, then give me the details and I can send you lager images. If looking to get a reasonable print quality, you will need the original for A5 or bigger prints. Any image that is copyrighted to someone else on my site will need to be cleared by them. Cheers, Max. |

29th December 2009 & 10th January 2010 - Matt - FotosForFree.com.au - Queensland, Australia "G'day there Max, Incredible photos. You must have done a lot of travelling to capture these breathtaking shots. What I liked about your photos are that you actually feel like your there, especially the bloke with the BBQ. Its amazing what we take for granted sometimes. I'm a moderator for http://fotoforfree.com.au . If you'd like to use any of our photos for your Australian Photo Gallery then your most welcome. Keep up the good work mate. - Matt."
"Hi
Max, Thanks for the photos you've
put onto FotoForFree Max. They're
absolutely incredible. Gee,
you've done some travelling. I
cant believe there are places in
Australia like that with crystal
clear water. Time for me to have
a holiday I think. If you
want any photos of ours (we cant
give away photos from other
users) for which you'd like our
originals then just let me know.
I was going to send you some
photos but then thought, which
ones would you be after. If you
wanted to use some of them for
your website then feel free to
take a look, tell us which ones
you want and we'll be happy to
give them to you. I'm always
happy to help promote Australian
websites.... Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

22nd December 2009 - Jill Hatrue - Western Australia "Dear Max, We just returned from our daily swim at Marmion and I was looking for some pics of our gorgeous beaches to send to friends in North America, Britain and Europe who are currently covered in more snow than they want! I found your beautiful site. Gorgeous photos. Do you have any of big surf? I used to body surf at Scarborough when I was a teenager - scared my mother rigid! As a child, I lived at North Beach and Waterman's Bay and learnt to swim in the ocean by jumping off the end of the jetty at North Beach - a dare from the big kids. In those days, the jetty extended further out into the sea. We've lived in the old part of Sorrento for most of our married life. By the way, the small beach just south of Marmion Angling Club is a year-round informal social club year-round for anyone from babies to retirees -whoever turns up on the day - the regulars are always there either side of 11am and more frequently in summer. Visitors ie non-locals welcome. I like to tell our overseas visitors that all the Surf Lifesaving Clubs have towers so the lifesavers can sit up there with their binoculars and watch for sharks . If they see one, they sound the shark alarm. They usually look a bit shocked. So then I tell them it's mainly so they can see if anyone's in trouble - and they usually laugh nervously. Some of the labelling on the photos in the Waterman's and Marmion sections is a bit out. I've numbered your photos 1 to 10 and they are: 1. Waterman's [Granny's Pool] 2. WCH, North Beach 3. North Beach 4. Main beach, Waterman's Bay 5. Jetty at North Beach [ nice Dog Beach to the north of jetty] 6. Angling Club, Marmion [good snorkelling on reef]. Once again, thanks for a great site, Jill." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G’day Jill, Can’t believe it has been so long since attending to the maxEphotos stuff. Sorry about that – hobbies are the first to go when you get busy. Just shifted house into a new SMALL hutch with so much to get ride of and set up – what a pain for ‘oldies’. Thanks heaps for the feedback. I have just had the road map out and have adjusted the items a bit. There is no 'Granny's Poll' as such - see what you think. Have a great day. Cheers, Max. |

25th August 2009 - Theuns van Zyl - Namibia - Lada Niva "Hi Max, Excellent web site, I am from Namibia and just started doing safari/tours for the lower income groups. We just completed our first tour in the Khaudom National Park in Namibia. I started out using Lada’s as they were cheap and plentiful in South Africa. Well cheap yes, but for my kind of operation....THE BEST. These little cars just have no end to them. Once the bucks come in I’m definitely broadening the scope Lada plays in this outfit. Well kind regards and merry winds n clear skies to all, Theuns." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G’day Theuns, Thanks heaps for the feedback. We have just gone over to a small van with the beds in the back – so much easier for ‘old’ people – still plenty to see in this huge land of Australia. Hope your business is going super. You have a great day. Cheers, Max. |

11th July 2009 - Les Hunting - Western Australia "Dear Max, You have some excellent photos, the top photos are all just as you say top photos and a pleasure to look at. Being a West Australian you would have noticed the name on the 747 at Longreach, It was named for the first country town becoming a city outside of Perth metro area at the time (I think that is right). Keep up the good work. Cheers, Les." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G’day Les, Can’t believe it has been so long since attending to the maxEphotos stuff. Sorry about that – hobbies are the first to go when you get busy. Just shifted house into a new SMALL hutch with so much to get ride of and set up – what a pain for ‘oldies’. Thanks heaps for the feedback. We want to go through Longreach some day soon and have just set up a little van as a camper. Maybe next year? Cheers, Max. |

"What a great love is visible in
every page, now I shall value the
Australia in another way.
It is an example for all of us:
the love to the native land
obliges to be the professional,
but even professionalism can not
substitute the most important
thing: personal sense of beauty
and harmony, desire to present
others your sincere riches. Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________ G’day Zarina, The internet is a wonderful thing, it allows us to visit places in the world without leaving home (and at no cost). All of the world and all of the people are beautiful in their own way. I love surfing the net for high-quality images for my desk top and screen saver. Thank you for your comments and blessings. Remember, this life is just a shadow of what God has prepared for those who love him. True Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. God bless you and your family, Max. |

5th February 2009 - Stuart Jackson - Western Australia
"Hi Max,
Really wanted to say - what a
brilliant website you have
created. I was surfing....looking
for info for our first trip to
Onslow (staying on Direction
Island) this July school Hols.
Came across your site...looking
for best fishing season, weather
etc....and was just visually
blown out of the water....and
loved your blurbs about creation
and Jesus. Just a brilliant
website.
Thanks for being out there! and
also the great info on Onslow
area. Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for the feedback, Stuart. Just this week I got inspired to do some more work on the site, check for broken links, add more comment to the images. I am looking forward to getting back up to Onslow, my favourite spot, maybe at the end of the year or next year. Will be at Steep Point for 10 days at the end of March – can’t wait! Cheers, Max. |

23rd January 2009 - Ed Garrett - Western Australia "The photos you have on your site showing the “Murchison River” at Gascoyne junction are actually photos of the Gascoyne River. Similarly, Gascoyne Junction is not in the “Murchison”, it is in the Gascoyne Region. The Murchison River is much farther to the south with its mouth at the town of Kalbarri north of Geraldton. Apart from that glaring mistake, the site and the photos are great. Edward Garrett." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What was I thinking!? I knew that! Probably not thinking more like it. Thanks for the feedback – I have fixed the errors. Well spotted. Cheers, Max. |

24th December 2008 - Ricardo and Sandrine Bugueno - Australia
"Good evening Max,
I stumbled across your wonderful
photos of Australia. My husband
and I are starting our own
business, promoting Australia. Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am sorry, but I am not prepared to give you access and use of my images at this stage without seeing your actual website. I think it may be too close in theme to my sites (Spiritland.com.au) for you to use my images. If you want to let me know when your site is up, I will take another look at it then. Regards, Max. |

10th December 2008 - Mitsuru Hisatomi - Japan "Dear Sir, I live in Japan and I have a LADA NIVA 21214. I found your site during a search by word "LADA NIVA". Your photos are beautiful ! also your country too. If you don't mind, I'd like to use your photos for my private new year's postcards. Could I do? I'm poor at English, so please forgive me if my English sounds a little rough. Kind Regards, Mitsuru Hisatomi." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yes Mitsuru, you can use any of my photos for non-commercial use, that is OK. Thank you for your kind words. Regards, Max. |

17th November 2008 - Liz - Western Australia "Hi Max, I have a client who would like to use some of your images on a brochure I am designing. What do you charge per image? Kind regards, Liz." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Liz, I would be very pleased to receive a payment for the use of my images. Something around the low end of the commercial rate would be fine. Let me know what shots you are after and I will send you the original unaltered image. Cheers, Max. |

18th September 2008 - Shane Rhodes - Western Australia
"Max, I need to find out the
shape of the compressor mounting
bracket you have in your Niva.
Could you send me a photo if
possible.
Thanks mate. Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sorry Shane, I no longer have the vehicle so I am unable to help. I actually deleted the Niva site, but then had several emails wanting it returned. So since I can do it at no cost, I obliged. Cheers. Max. |

15th September 2008 - Francois Laine - San Francisco, USA - http://www.artificialowl.net/ Hello Max, I discovered your websites and pictures about the Corringie Settlement with great interest. I have read the story of this now extinct community, and would like to post this story and your great pictures on my blog. First would you mind telling me the exact location of the Corringie Settlement as I'm just not able to locate it on any map. Second would you mind emailing me your pictures in Higher resolution? I thank you in advance for any help you can provide me. I hope you receive well this request, I will link the article to your website and make clear mention of your credit. Thank you, Best regards, Francois." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi Francois,
I have been very busy lately and
so have just now been able to do
the images for you. You can now
capture the larger images of the
Corringie Settlement through my
updated webpage at http://maxephotos.net/leonora-leinster.htm
. Just click on the 'View larger
image' link at each photo, then
save to your computer.
The abandoned Corringie
Settlement is at Wilson's Patch,
65km north of the remote mining
town of Leonora. |

"Max - Good afternoon.
I am the editor of the local Just
Rock magazine here in Queensland.
I like to let the gang know of
what's on and where and came
across the site that details the
Rock 'N' Roll Revival 2005
Scarborough Beach, Western
Australia. This looks like it is
an annual event. I would like to
give the event a plug in the
September edition and use some if
the piccies if that was okay with
you. Let me know mate. Can send
you a copy of the magazine when
it's printed if you like. I would
need your postal address as it is
too large to email.
Kind Regards, Geoff (Two Left
Feet) -
Just Rock Gladstone Qld. Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________
Hi Geoff,
Go for it with the photos from my
site. The Rock ‘N’ Roll Revival
was put on by Stirling City
Council and I think it has run
the past few years, but I missed
out. Just today had an update
email from them, but they haven’t
listed their next summer program
yet, so here is the link to their
site for you to check and get
their newsletter sent to you
direct. |

30th May 2008 - Jeff Krasnostein - Western Australia "Max, I have a photo of Scarborough Beach taken in1943-would you like a copy." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Jeff, I am very interested in any image you or your friends might have of the old “Snake Pit” dance venue at Scarborough, or the street scape of the era. My website has somehow become listed on Wikipedia as the only source of information on the Snake Pit, and so I would like to include some images (with due notation on the provider of the image and copyright owner). Other than that I have no particular interest in general old photos. Thanks for the offer though. Cheers, Max. |

20th December 2007 - Kirk O'Connor - Western Australia "Dear Max, I am preparing a new website for Aussie Wine Direct, a WA based company that promotes and sells predominately WA wines in the United Kingdom - www.aussiewinedirect.co.uk . The company’s new website will have a stronger emphasis on WA wines and producers whilst promoting wine tourism and tourism in general in WA. To project a uniquely WA flavour for the site we are looking to acquire images of scenery from the southwest and southern regions for presentation on the site. Whilst surfing the web I noticed your excellent images. Whilst I have no issue paying for quality images to enhance my client’s site, my business is a small one person business consultancy / web development specialist and, as such, the cost of such images needs to be reasonable. I make a point of officially acquiring / purchasing images for use on the sites I develop and have no issue crediting you for the images on the site. By the way, keep up the great work with the camera – too many people only take whilst in this life and precious few ever give back. Best regards, Kirk. Director - OVM Webbuilder" Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Kirk, You may use any of my images free of charge under the following conditions: 1. The site or sites (the website to display the images) must clearly be in promotion of Western Australia or Australia for tourism purposes, and not just for a purely commercial enterprise. 2. The site must not contain or promote in any way, any illegal or offensive material or activity deemed as such by the common laws of Australia, including links to such materials on other websites. (No pornography, gambling, scams, etc.) 3. You must send to me the address of the site when it is launched that I may check it from time to time. If at any stage I am not happy to be associated with that site, I can request that my images be removed, which must happen within 30 days of the request. 4. I retain sole rights to my photos at all times, and you agree not to pass or sell them onto any other party, or make any commercial gain from any of my images. 5. If you use any of my photos, you must clearly state somewhere on that page, 'Photos courtesy of maxEphotos.net - Max Jefferies' ,with the underlined link being active to my site, or something similar. 6.

8th November 2007 - Barbara - Maryland, U.S.A. - www.Xerraire.com
"Hi there! I found your website when looking for images of a car show. However, curiosity took me to the rest of your site and I wanted to email how nice it was to find a photo gallery that also had so many links to Christian messages. I should do the same! I do, however, try to share my testimony in subtle ways on my blog. I am writing to you from Maryland, USA, and I know (via online) a few people from Perth, and so many don't believe in the Bible that I just had to write to you and tell you how refreshing it was to find your site. I was also hoping to ask about the church you attend there, its location, that perhaps I could share with the people I know there of your church. My mom grew up in the Church of Christ but I am not that familiar with it. I was raised what we call here Southern Baptist but now I go to a Fundamentalist Baptist Church. I don't know if the names and titles mean anything anymore. I'd like to just say I believe in God and in His Word the Bible and that Jesus is my Savoir. I noticed you had a link to Chick tracts, it's been a long time since I had seen any reference to them. I also noticed a few links to Ken Ham projects. I have heard him speak here in Maryland, and love his videos and books. By the way, I love photography too, oh, and I noticed you used the same camera as I have! I have the Fuji s602z! I am also hoping to one day have a dSLR as well! I suppose I have taken enough of your time. Regards and greetings from Maryland! Barbara (From "Xerraire")" Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Barbara, Thanks for your comments. You can find out about my church, Rivervale Church of Christ, at www.rivcc.org.au . This is another website that I administer. My websites are pretty basic as I am self-taught. I had a look around your sites – very professional and commercial. My wife and I have been at RIV church just over 7 years and are very settled there. We have a growing African contingent due to our work with asylum seekers at a local Detention Centre, plus helping them settle in a new country. I have been on the Creation Science Western Australia support group back in the early days and have helped out at conferences where Ken Ham has spoken (before he shifted to the US). As a teenager I new that evolution was a load of rubbish - just not logical. You see the great design work in a car (I was a bit of a rev-head), then were told that the amazing design present in nature - a flower, a snow flake or the human body, didn’t have a designer!?? But at that time I didn’t have anything else to replace evolution with – until circumstances lead me to read the Bible for the first time, and it all just fell into place. Creation Ministries International do a fantastic job in confirming the foundations of the Bible on which faith can be built. Anyway, good to here from you and remember Jesus is coming back soon, so keep your house in order. Blessings, Max. |

12th September 2006 - Robin Booth - Western Australia - Niva
"Good evening Max, I found your Niva website very interesting. Unfortunately my web page has disappeared from the web and the link on your site to it does not follow through. I will lodge it again in the near future, work permitting. I still drive my Niva regularly. Since the Niva Nuts page was displayed on the web I have added power steering, used a Commodore radiator and cut out some small areas of rust. Keep up the good work. Regards, Robin Booth. Perth, WA" Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks Robin for the update. Cheers. |

8th August 2006 - Ross - Australia - 1997 Niva 1.7i "Hello Max, I have just found your Niva site. I also have a white air conditioned 1.7i Niva, mine a 1997 model. Mine is standard except for the mags which are the same as yours. I also bought my Niva to get out into the bush and take photos. I have a Minolta 500Si SLR and a Sony 330 video camera as well as a small Pentax Espio for happy snaps. I am looking a buying a Canon 350D shortly and am currently doing a photography course at night. The only extras I want to put on mine are spotties and perhaps the headlight wipers. Just a question, did yours have those when you bought it or are they part of your modification program? Looking forward to your reply. Cheers, Ross." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G'day Ross, mine had headlight wipers which I removed and binned. Not much use for them in Western Australia. Suppose they could have kept the flies off the lights!? Thanks for the input. Cheers. |

26th May 2006 - Zita C. - Arizona, U.S.A "Won-der-full photos! My American Dad was stationed in New Guinea during WW II, met my Mom on a double-date while on R/R in Sydney. They corresponded for 3 yrs during the war, married in Strathfield, NSW, and moved to the U.S.. Have lot of "rellies" in the Sydney area, including a 20's niece who just emigrated there, she loves it so much. Anyhooo...Love your Spectacular and Interesting photos, and fun website. By-the-way, I and we, are born-again believers too. Zita C. in Arizona" Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Zita, yes it's a small world, and getting smaller it seems. Thanks for your comments. Nice to meet other 'rellies' in God's family too. Keep looking up - Jesus is coming soon (around 2029 maybe??). Cheers. |

11th April 2006 - Alexandre Lamotte - Brazil - Lada Niva - www.nivasgerais4x4.com.br "Hello Max, Congratulations! Your site is great! I really liked your Niva. You've made some interesting modifications. I did not understand the Cruise Control. Does it just control de accelerator? By the way, I am president of a Niva Club, in Brazil, at Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte City. We have about 270 members. If you don't mind, I'd like to link your page on our web site, and you can do the same. Visit us at www.nivasgerais4x4.com.br. I am sending in attach the gif to insert in your links page. Regards and sorry about my bad english. Alexandre Lamotte, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Alexandre, the cruise control (CC) maintains the speed of the vehicle when 'Set' is pressed, by the vacuum powered servo unit connected to the accelerator arm on the carby. The CC then tries to keep that speed by accelerating or backing off, just like a factory-fitted unit would do, and you can increase or decrease your set speed in small increments without disconnecting - it is not a throttle control locking the revs of the engine. It works by a transponder picking up the pulse of a small magnet zip-tied (and glued) to a protected spot on a drive shaft, so it will work in any gear. There is a disconnect to the brake pedal for safety reasons. When the vehicles speed drops around 20% of the set level, the unit disconnects also. I will never again own another vehicle used for country driving without cruise control fitted. The after-market unit cost me around AU$250. It is brilliant! Cheers. |

20th December 2005 - Andrey Aminov - Russia "Dear Max. Thank you so much for your marvelous web site. You are a great photographer, I like your pictures very very much! All of them with full of light and colors with fantastic angle of view. And of course you must be like your photos full of light because this is your vision of the world and of course your work as a reflection of you because it is your eyes looking throughout object glass and it is your soul pressing button of camera. I would like to ask you permission to use your great fantastic pictures in a small commercial web site. My name is Andrey. I’m beginner in web design, and in the current moment I’m free of charge helping and assisting to my friend with his firs commercial web site of his young private company. The company of my friend is specialized for Russians and russian audience and will provide an assistance with preparation documents for immigrants to Australia. For a current moment we are planning the web page only in Russian language. So I need some Australian pictures under section (about Australia) and I’m so sure that your photos will be a best promotion of Australian life in our web site. If you will be so kind and will give me the permission to use your pictures I’ll be so happy because I didn’t find any better free Australian pictures in the internet. Honestly speaking your pictures are better than in commercial sources. Sincerely yours with great respect. Aminov Andrey, Beginner of the web site design." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Andrey, yes, I do give you permission to use any of my photos with the following conditions:
I appreciate you asking permission to use my photos and hope that your site is a genuine business venture and successful. I do have a soft spot for the Russian people and hope you can be of real help to some, and not taking advantage of their plight. Cheers, Max. |

21st October 2005 - Vern Richardson - Tasmania, Australia - 1989 Lada Niva 1600cc - www.geocities.com/vernr_au
"G'day Max!!
I have just 'stumbled' upon your
Niva website whilst browsing the
web... what a great looking site
and a top job... well done!! It
is great to find yet another
Aussie site dedicated to the
Niva. I have had two Nivas. My
current one is in excellent
condition and giving us some
wonderful trips. I notice from
your website that you have
travelled around Australia fairly
extensively..........no blue
lines shown on Tassie yet!!! If
ever you get down this way don't
hesitate to contact
me............there are some
awesome 4WD areas to be checked
out which I can assure you the
Niva will love!! Thanks for the
links on your site to my Niva
website.........I really must set
aside some time and update my
site as it is badly out of
date........finding your website
has renewed my priorities in that
regard!!! Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks Vern. We do hope to travel Tassie at some stage... when I really retire probably. |

5th October 2005 - Robert Krog - Croatia - Niva "Visited your (Lada Niva) site and it is very nice. I am one Niva fan from Croatia and asking around about bull bar that I saw in most of Nivas from Australia. I also send a few mails from sites I've found but no reply. Maybe you can help me. I would like to buy such a bull bar but for start I need a price and some info about possible shipping from Australia, etc. I would appreciated very much if you can help me on that matter. Best regards, Robert." Max's Response: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ G'day Robert, the "Bull Bar" I have was on the Niva when I purchased it, but I removed it as it was too heavy for the front, and it was not really that strong. The bar itself was strong enough - made of steel - but it is overall only as strong as it's weakest link, and that is the two round mounting brackets coming out the front of the Niva from the subframe. These are made of thin steel and even squashed as I tightened the bull bar on to them. I had to ram a spacer piece of pipe inside the Niva bumper fitting bars to strengthen them a little. With the bull bar fitted, in the event of hitting a kangaroo or something bigger, the bar would simply be pushed back onto the full front of the vehicle, damaging bonnet, lights, grill and panels. I opted for going back to an original bumper bar which is light and, I think, looks better, is much lighter and far less wind resistance, thus adding to fuel economy. So, having said that, if I were you, I would not go to the trouble and expense of fitting a "bull" bar at all. If you still want one, I strongly recommend it be made from aluminium, not steel. There are some around on Nivas here in Western Australia, but I have never seen a second-hand one advertised anywhere, so I think you have buckleys of finding one (no chance). Hope that helps you a little. Cheers, Max. |
