bills. Stock work is very good work to get, and provides a place for all
those 'slightly-less-gorgeous-and-not-as-controversial' shots to find a
home, right? ;-)

If you look at where Magnum advertises - you'll find them spending a lot of

'journalisitic' assignments, nor do they seek to sell 'essays.' They're
competing for the lucrative 'advertising' sale.
