marshall mchulan (sp) i'm sure would tell us that humans and objects are the
same thing (the wheel is an extension of the foot and all that).  but
especially in fashion photography where you need a foot to hold a shoe or a
finger to sport a ring.

but as for taking away the quirks that make us all real, i suspect you've
not been reading "W" lately or looking at jurgen teller, sante d'orazio or
the rest of the gritty wave of fashion ... the zits are all still there. 

it's all there. but i'm biased, i just like hanging out with models. i'm
shallow that way.
