Do you still have a web site? I'd been wondering what you were up to... 20--20 Mark Roberts Photography and writing <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Ah ha! I now have permission! Gamma picked up my option a couple of years back, and between them and my repeat customers I really haven't had the need to promote until recently. I switched Internet providers a while back, and didn't crank up the site again after I determined that it didn't bring in any customers, just other photogs chasing after my client list and people ripping off my images. I have a catalog of Acrobat promotional pages that I email off to prospects if they request it. But I think that the landscape has changed recently, and a good site would be of benefit, so I'm starting to design one and hope to have it online in a couple of months. In the meantime, I made Life Magazine's "The Year In Pictures" issue (alas, with an Olympus digital and Nikon film cameras) a couple of years ago, coverage of the Beltway Sniper that happened all around the house I was living in at the time. Also got a bit of coverage of European royalty visiting DC in various mags here and on your side of the pond, among many other assignments. It's been fun and interesting. The photos and item descriptions of the sale items should be done and the auctions started by tomorrow evening. Items include a PZ-1P with Tamron 35-70, a black MX body in pretty decent shape, a 100 f2.8 Macro (the big, 600-gram autofocus, not the newer digitally optimized), a 70-200 f4-5.6 (amazingly sharp), manual focus 28mm 2.8 SMC and 50mm 1.4 SMC, an AF500FTZ, plus ded. ext cord, an elec. cable release for the PZ, and even a couple of pieces of old N**** gear. There's also a custom lens shade for a 3.5/28mm that clamps onto the outside of the lens barrel, in mint condition (but I don't have that particular lens). There seem to be a fair amount of Brits here on the forum. Do you guys outnumber the Yanks now? I went to school in London and miss the place now and again. BTW, can anybody tell me why the messages I send to the list from Outlook Express get kicked back to me? This is the first week I've used Outlook Express, and it takes some getting used to. Best regards always, and happy shooting. -Bill Cornett
