If they want serious students, that cannot be the way to get them. We are much more sophisticated in the New World, with art school ads in match books in which you are asked to copy the face of a pirate. Now, THAT'S ART! - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of J.

Do a PAW and stick with it for the whole year. That's your BFA! I completed mine last week. Yesterday on New Years day I went to see our new town supervisor get inaugurated at town hall, with my M6 of course (if you do a PAW you'll soon learn to ALWAYS carry your camera). Today I went down to the local newspaper and _sold_ the first pictures of my new professional career!
