I've no problem with models or modeling as long as there is acknowledgement and/or profit sharing for the models and that they aren't degraded in the process. I saw a video documentary of when the Tunick man shot in Melbourne, it was wet, cold and dingy and the participants were clearly not comfortable, yet it didn't seem to bother him (in a warm jacket of course) or them. Hence my initial comment about how stupid some people can be. BTW I have a real problem with the Afghan Girl pic and worse the fact that he went back for another dip at the trough, as far I I'm aware she's still no better off even after all it's done for them (McCurry and NG). http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/03/0311_020312_sharbat.html Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
