Very nice shot Walt! Make a good 8x10 and give it to her, tape your photog business card to the back, let her know you are looking for models and business opportunities . . . This could be a good stepping stone. stan On Feb 4, 2013, at 4:15 PM, Walt wrote: I grabbed a quick shot of a girl

I actually gave her my card that night (I keep a stack at work at all times), and she saw the photo when she came back in on Monday night, when I showed it to her on Flickr. She quite liked it. ;) -- Walt On 2/5/2013 2:04 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: Very nice shot Walt! Make a good 8x10 and give

Thanks, Bruce! She was fairly inebriated that night, but at one point, she told me she LOVED having her picture taken. So, there may be an opportunity there. -- Walt On 2/4/2013 3:22 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: I like it too, Walt. :-) On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 4:15 PM, Walt ldott...@gmail.com
