Canadian dollars. The project concept was as >equally stupid as the amount of the grant. Ted - I also applied for and got a grant for $1500 to go to Russia and photograph kindergarten children. I had to fill out reams and reams of forms. The grant would not cover travel expenses at all, but would cover film and processing if I would give slide shows and talks to educational groups. I agreed and got my grant, but it was far more work than it was worth. I would have made far more money by the hour working at McDonalds than filling out forms and giving talks. That's the last time I tried for a grant. Never again!! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
