Ladies & Gentlemen,

I’m working on a school project, for which I have to make a book about my life. My concept for this book is a reflection of my love and beliefs of the Knights of the Round Table on my daily life. Ofcourse, real life sword-mastery (meaning Kendo) is an unmissable asset, so I would like to add an item about Kendo to my book.

For that, I would like to take some pictures of tonight’s training. I’m of a mind to focus on the people training in bogu, and while I’m at it, wouldn’t mind to have a couple of photo’s with the entire group. Just slash and smash away: I won’t get in your way during training!

As far as I know this won’t be a problem with our honourable Sensei, but I can understand if some people have problems with this concerning privacy. Well first of all, I’ll use the photos only for the printed book, which will only be seen by my teachers, classmates and my friends and parents probably. Second, I WILL NOT MAKE THESE PUBLIC by posting them on Facebook or anything of the sort, you have my word. And if you prefer to be inrecognisable on the photos in the book, Photoshop can see to that! I’m quite fanatic concerning my own privacy, so I understand you if someone has an issue with this.

I’ll bring my camera tonight and announce this story there once more: if you don’t want any part of it, feel free to let me know!

Kind regards,
Philippe
