Not that i have. I just hoard my hotels, houses and Hasselblads. We are playing Puritan Monopoly here. http://www.cet.com/~mtr/GereeChar.html You have to watch out for the transparency of fabrics. There will sometimes be more transparency in a photo sometimes less then what you are looking at. I get a new model i ask to see her drivers licence. I ask here the three things to remember when you parallel park. It's bit difficult to judge ages most of them are taller than you are unless you're 5'11". The can run faster and jump higher than you can and can probably kick your ass! IN European fashion magazines which can be found at any magazine stand here in the states like the French or German Elle, Italian Vogue, you'll see models who are a bit younger wearing a bit less. Nothing they've not seen at the beach every day those crazy Europeans they just hate tan lines! It's interesting we can't shoot them here but we can buy the magazines all over the place from Europe from the people who can. And its OUR models we are looking at too! American models I think still dominate the industry. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
