[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Dear all,

Ted meant for his post below to be sent to the list but accidentally sent it 
just to me. He has asked me to forward it, and his wish is my command.

Cheers,
Nathan

> Nathan one of the interesting parts of your postings is, many times the 
> most interesting? 
> You produce a "PHOTO story ESSAY!" Much like a weekend gravure section in 
> a newspaper or a news type magazine... "LIFE, LOOK, DER STERN, ETC. The 
> captions are excellent & informative & the photos are always indeed a 
> pleasure to view. 
> I had years after years day after day of those type of assignments across 
> north America and occasions overseas, usually more news related.  Yes we 
> had the "one photo news assignment" more times than you can count, but the 
> features were the best. They allowed time to search and find "cool photo 
> moments" quite often with a cover.  The cover gave one a small dollar 
> bonus pay day! J A motivating factor to look and shoot better life moments.
>  
> So here's a bit of an assignment  challenge for the LUG CREW!
> Instead of constantly shooting the "ONE PHOTO POST?"  Find a subject with 
> some "visual interest" could be your home? Or something in it? And shoot a 
> feature? Maybe a half dozen photos in the series or more if the imagery 
> warrants it? 
> No not to post one every week, but at your leisure and pleasure?
> In doing this type of shoot  you will become more of a "photojournalist" 
> as in telling/showing a story! 
>  
> By the same token? If it doesn't interest you in becoming a more skilful 
> photog? Don't we all want to do that? As we never stop learning as that's 
> part of the joys of photography. 
>  
> I'll give someone a subject right now! "Preparing for Christmas!" Whatever 
> that maybe in your home/town/city/country? 
>  
> Way you go lads & lasses get out there and kick ass! J Picture wise of 
> course. Now that subject is so wide open all of you should have a most 
> interesting shoot time!
