Or, how about a pin that we can affix to the headgear or photo vest of our choice? Though baseball-style caps look neat, I've always found them a nuisance when doing actual photography. The brim inevitably gets in the way of the camera, particularly for vertical shots. I much prefer the floppy hats -- "boonie hats" to those familiar with the military headgear of this type -- though I've been known to affix a railroad pin or two to mine on occasion. These boonie hats provide more all around shade (or rain protection) than a baseball- style cap. I do, however, like Dave's proposal for the text on the T-shirt. -- Ernest -- Ernest H.
