I would ditto Michele's comments. I am constantly on the lookout for people to photograph for future projects. Presently, and for a very long time, I have been looking for a natural red head (women are clever, and I am easily fooled). When I find this person I have visioned I will tackle them around the knees (all restraining orders should lapse in '04).

I keep these photos in a file and when the urge (or lack of business) strikes, I thumb through them.

My ego, recently calculated in a university study to be somewhere between large and extra large, won't allow me to use (except in rare circumstances) another persons creation. I just can't stand to think that someone else had a hand in my work.

My advice would be to take Michele's advice.
