to quote Jim...

"As for size, many heavy people shy away from the camera (my husband 
included).  I'm far more interested in people who want to celebrate 
themselves, as they are where they are.  So much the better that the vast 
majority agree to pose.  Enough of this, I'm off to a drag brunch in 
philadelphia-- with pictures to follow."

implied, they are asked and agree to pose for these photos...

this is pretty clear, they want to be in these photos, they understand their 
use, and presumably they can see the results.

right Jim?


Steve
