They sure don't look as good as the models you get from NYC or the big cities of USA or Europe. As a matter of fact lots of them didn't look that much like "models" to me. Also Models tend to be teenagers or not much older. They don't look at all like "groupies." I'm not overly fond of those shots from the days when Bob was running Shutterbug either. I didn't dwell on the subject matter. Bob's knowledge of Photography is truly amazing and impressive and he's one of the nicest unpretentious guys you'll ever communicate with. Just ask him anything and he's got the answer like a magician or psychic working in a carnival. A true Mega Guru of photographic knowledge like you'll never believe. He's taken most cameras apart and done work on them and has an interesting range of occupations. So he knows a lot about a range of other topics other that photography. Of most of the Photo "experts" I know Bob Shell will forget more in his lifetime then they put together will ever know. I've got the highest respect for him.
