Stan, as I pointed out, it would NOT actually be legal the way it was intended in the ad. Essentially, the concern I raised can be expressed in the following question (more academic in nature): 1. If the guy did it correctly, in a legal way (i.e. hired somebody to do produce great shots for him [wedding or not - does it matter - as it can be even done with the staged model wedding or just a regular wedding, as long it is done correctly from the legal point of view]), would it be acceptable to display those photos in his business portfolio? And a variation of that, based on your [Stan] example: 2. Do you feel OK to put shots produced by your hired assistants into YOUR business portfolio? If the answers for 1. and 2. are different, then 3. What is the difference between the situation described in 1. and 2. above? I would be very interested to hear what different PDMLers think about this type of situation. And, as I pointed out earlier, he's completely screwed from the standpoint of model releases. Mark, that's a good point. However, it is hypothetical at this point (even though this is something that would be likely, as the photographer does not seem to be very scrupulous). In principle, if the seller is scrupluous and had obtained the model releases for his own needs (especially if it was on a basis similar to TFP) then that part wouldn't be a problem.

Re: F104's revisited - especially for Frank!
I was an airborne radar intercept officer. I was trained to use Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles in air-to-air combat. While I never was sent up against a Vulcan, I know enough about it to say that it would be a fairly easy target, big and slow. The 104 would be a bit harder, but since it had a turning radius bigger that the orbit of Mars, not difficult to outmaneuver. We had radar controlled missiles to fire head-on from 3 to 10 miles away, and heat-guided missiles to fire from .5 to 1.5 miles behind another aircraft.

When I look at the way Pentax performance has risen and prices have dropped over the past few years, it’s really tough for me to feel too sad. It probably prompted at least two body upgrades that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

Re: When did equipment get so cheap?
If I remember correctly, I paid about $2000 (taxes included) for an *ist-D, battery grip, 256MB CF card a used Tameron 28-200 lens. I had to drive down to a local dealer's branch store in Wilmington, NC to pick it up because they didn't have the grip in the Raleigh store. I didn't think to take a lens along, so I bought the Tamron lens so I'd have something to shoot with on the drive back to Raleigh. I think the Tamron lens was about $300 the 256MB CF card was about $100 at that time, so the *ist-D battery grip must have been about $1600. That was February 14, 2004, just before I shipped out for Iraq. We got the weekend off right after our big departure ceremony. I photographed the ceremony with a PZ-1P. On 2/11/2014 7:58 PM, J.C.

Re: F104's revisited - especially for Frank!
So just because you're the only one (that I know of) on this list who actually flew fighter aircraft back in the sixties you think that makes you an expert? Do you really think your actual real-world experience means that you know more than us armchair quarterbacks? Okay, I never flew them but I read about them. And of course you're absolutely right. I liked the Starfighter because it was cool looking and fast. But your Double Ugly was faster, could attain a higher altitude, carry more payload and out-maneuver Starfighters (and pretty much everything else). It was about five years newer than the F104 and engine technology and aerodynamics improved greatly during that time. Anyway, there's no doubt that the F4 was the finest fighter-bomber of it's time. It must have been a thrill to pilot them! Cheers, frank On 11 February, 2014 4:44:17 PM EST, Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com wrote: I was an airborne radar intercept officer.
