Thanks, Philippe. There's a good story behind that one, which I think I told on the RUG not long ago. The picture was taken in Joel-Peter Witkin's studio just after a lengthy shoot with a model. The dog on the left (Minnie) is mine. The other one (Brie) belonged to someone else. Both were there to "audition" for a role in the shoot. Brie got the job, but Minnie and I hung out to watch the session and at the end I put both dogs on the set and took a couple of pictures with my PanaLeica LC40 digicam. One of my friends works for Witkin, which is how I got to be there in the first place. Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr. SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085 714-908-7846 (fax) pswango@att.net
