All B.D. is saying, it seems to me, is that there has to be an agreement between the photographer and the client on the style of photography. What you're proposing would seem to end up with photographers having to provide all the various styles of work desired by all clients. I don't see anything wrong in saying "This is the way I shoot. If you want something else, find someone else." Anything else is prostitution. Phooey on that! Paul - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
