This is one of those cases where word of mouth really helps. Put the word out that you are looking for models to practice with, of any age, shape, size or plumbing. If you make it clear that your goal is to practice photography, then women will feel more comfortable that you aren't just a creep (a Guy With a Camera) trying to get them out of their clothes. Also, offer to photograph them *with* their kids. A lot of pretty young mothers are more interested in photos of their kids, than of themselves. > > So, I have that to look forward to.

With the keyboard it makes a very nice netbook. Also with the keyboard it has slots for both micro SD and full SD cards, so I can load it up with something like 96GB of storage all told. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
