May be this will give some ideas of my visual metaphor approach. There are in fact a few people's pairing that will stay, by nature of their choosing already, Tina Manley, Greg Rubenstein, and a couple others. I will respect Bob Adler's choices as well. http://richardmanphoto.com/TMP/Capture-pair.JPG http://richardmanphoto.com/TMP/Capture-3pairs.JPG If anyone does not like this change, email me and I will remove the pictures. If someone else wants to take over, I can upload all 400+ MB on a server and they can take over.
