What's in a name? OK Daddy may have been a ballet dancer, but the most important thing is he was a FAMOUS ballet dancer. A famous name, a white wall and a large print all help to translate something that's possibly quite slight into something that's quite covetable. I'm not saying the buyers are impressionable, but they just might be :-) On ballet connections in photography, may I humbly offer myself as an example, and state I'm raising my prices accordingly. Alicia Markova - a prima ballerina assoluta (see Wikipedia) - was my third cousin. I shall get my tights out the next time I go out with a camera..... Douglas
