RE: Professions and the PUG
I'll pitch in... Many years ago in primary school we were all asked to tell the class what our father's did. My father worked for a publishing company, and I didn't know how to describe what he did, so I said he was a Bookie. I had no idea what the word meant. He received a call from the headmaster that evening. :-) Simon -Original Message- From: Ann Sanfedele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 5 October 2003 3:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Professions and the PUG graywolf wrote: Well, you ought to teach your kids these things.

I thought it just meant she was a jerk. So I told my father at dinner that I didn't want to go to her party or haver her over or something becuase she was a fairy. He was very upset and said I shouldn't call anyone that but wouldn't tell me why. This was in about 1947. Just one of many things kids of our generation were not told. * horror (noun) 4. Informal.

Re: Professions and the PUG
If we can agree that professionals are whores, then the oldest profession was represented _behind_ the camera in several shots. My turn to duck. -Lon Peter Alling wrote: Please Ann, this is a family list. (Not that I didn't consider it).

Re: Professions and the PUG
I thought about staging one. My favorite model would have been happy to do it. (She has a sense of humor.) But I've been overwhelmed lately with work and some paying photo jobs. Hope to gete back to the PUG this month. Paul Ann Sanfedele wrote: Was kinda surprised there were no shots of world's oldest...

Re: Professions and the PUG
'Round about these parts, one's likely to have a pimp slit your throat if you're seen pointing a camera at one of his girls. Or, if she's an independant (as many crack-whores are - and lately there seems to be a lot of them around), the streetwalker herself is likely to produce the slicing implement. Not quite the same as the smiling girls in the windows (that I hear are) over in Europe. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

Re: Professions and the PUG
Oh, no need to duck, Ann! vbg I guess I'm just saying that going out and photographing a prostitute isn't something I'd leave the house with the intention of doing. Fact is, I do walk around many different parts of town with my camera around my neck or over my shoulder (depending on which camera), and I'll talk with all sorts of people during my walks. Were I to have the opportunity to photograph a girl on the street, I would. But, it would only be after chatting with her, getting her consent, and making sure (as best I can) that it's relatively safe. I'm open for almost anything (photographically speaking, of course!). cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.
