Hi Paul,

You can use Drupal core's Contact module. Make sure it is turned on by going
to the modules admin page at:

/admin/build/modules/list

Once the contact module is turned on you can set up a contact form at:

/admin/build/contact/add

After that you can make a hyperlink to send someone to the contact page like
this, "<a href="/contact">Click here to enquire about this photo</a>." Note:
this method doesn't send any info the photo to the form.

Since you are doing photos... you might want to know that using:
* filefield
* imagefield
* imagaeapi
* imagecache

is the the forward thinking way of adding and using images on your site...
as opposed to using the "image" module.

Geting the book, "Using Drupal" from O'Reilly would hold your hand through a
bunch of this.

Drupal is powerful and flexible... but you definitely need to invest some
time to begin to wrap your mind around it.

Welcome... and good luck,

Shai
