Here is another dumb posting
My name is Ruddy Roye.....so you know that I am not trying to hide from you or anyone on 
the LUG.
If this fool (who is going by the name of Ted Grant) was a photographer, then they would 
know that even if they had all the "Famous Mags" in his back pocket,     Access to these 
"Famous people" is one of the most important element in creating someone like Anne.  
Access, Access, Access, I do not care how good a photographer you are, famous people 
do not just drop right in front of you...you have to be doing some kinda leg work...not 
hating on other photographers who happened to have the breaks and is able to perform 
after getting that break.  Ted you need to ask one question, why isn't these mags investing 
in the no-name photographers.  Why did they give Anne the job...here is an 
answer...."Maybe they knew she could delever," how  about that?

Peace
