Martin'
I need to buy you a drink...or a filter(according to Mark Rabiner).
I was beginning to feel like I have to send Daniel the whole 100 imaegs I have here in 
order to give him the idea I have in my mind.
I honestly do not want to get into the eroticism of the event or club..but more in how these 
women look while doing their "work"
I have other images of them interacting with the patrons.  One of the most powerful image I 
was able to take was an image where a girlfriend was being fondled by her boyfriend(out 
of frame..all you see is his hand on her breast) while she is fondling the dancer herself.  It 
is like a place where fantasies are made to come alive....I guess  or I promise to show at 
least six more images after the slide show at the ICP......

Thanks Daniel
Cheers Martin
