->> Kevin,
You're right. The photographer only wants to take pictures and use them in a portfolio. It must be getting late. Sorry. Please move on. Nothing to see here.

I misread her post on craigslist. She just wants to give a discount to anyone she shoots if they will let her use the photos in her portfolio.

In the case of the link I listed above, someone really did want to purchase a digital image to play off as their own.

Wow, was that ever a walk down memory lane. So many former members have now gone dark for a variety of reasons. It's literally, the good, the bad, and the ugly of the SS graveyard.
