Yes the essence!
Mary thank you, that was very informative. I suppose the essence I was aiming for in this thread was to see how portraiture was been challenged by photography. To hear of personal challenges was eye opening to say the least. The main reason was to once again highlight the need for a public relations coop possibly, to enlighten the public of an old and valuable service.
Yes, there are exquisite portraits that are produced by accomplished artists and most have a waiting list no doubt, but to use maybe a set of well written press releases that we could all use to soften the public to being supportive of our work was maybe my angle. Just to make sure that incidents like yours Mary and Mike's do not become contagious.
