[MCN-L] Contract photographer in Boston Area

[ffrench, John]

Greetings all,

I am looking for a person to shoot a table and chair at a collectors home in 
the Boston area for a publication we are working on.

Can anyone in that area pass on the name of people they'd recommend (off list 
is fine and likely preferred by the group). We need someone in the next 2-3 
weeks.

Thanks,

John ff.
