I feel I must reply to the Will of the Court, and specifically, to Mr. Stragand, Secretary of Calendars. Being in the minority of having done photography professionally and having dated a professional photographer (who was a little more benevolent to my music collection than Dave's ex), I would accept the offer to personally photograph everyone's vehicles for next year's calendar, provided that such incidental expenses as lost wages, first-class airline tickets for myself and my staff, a liberal expense account, five-star hotel accomodations, and other expenses to be named later be covered by Mr. Stragand and his burgeoning calender empire. Regarding the photography advice mentioned, may I add that it's best to avoid bright, sunny days, especially between the hours of 10am and 2pm, when photographing cars. My best photos are taken when the sun is just behind the clouds and there are very soft shadows present. Also the use of a fill-in flash is helpful when shooting to put some light into the shadow areas. Thanks, Ron Waters, who wishes this whole political thing were over...Oh, not the Bush-Gore thing - I'm referring to finding out who got the most votes in the Forward Look Calendar contest !
