Hi Daniel,
I'm not sure if this is your question or a quote from the book? However,
this comment was made by a person who's never worked for a daily
newspaper!!!!

Hell being published every day is a piece of cake for any newsphotographer
as you're expecrted to produce material every day.... That's what we were
paid  to do! And many are still paid to do so everyday right now around the
world.  So it's no big deal.

If this is a comment from the book and means photographing something in New
York every day for publication, that's really a piece of cake due to the
population size and activities of the city.

> Now ... we who are doing PAW:s ... the 'P' must stand for "pansies" :)<<<<

Why? Not at all, as I'm positively amazed at the quality and quantity of
photography produced by many on the list who aren't working photographers
and still manage a picture -a-week while carrying on with your livelihood
profession.

To all of those who partake in the PAW, it's a great big, "GOOD ON ALL OF
YOU!" :-)
