Had an assistant for a while from Wales who ended up as photographer on giant cruise ships "smudging" to the tune of $20,000 a week with 3 shooters doing 60 rolls a day process and print and sell. All on M6s, the only cameras that could stand the pace and also show faces when the flash went off so you could reshoot if someone blinked. Now he's flashing nudes for cash to the erotic mags and taking his wheelbarrow to the bank. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
