Re: [Digital BW] A bit OT....MF to b/w print

I have never, ever reffered to my work as "superior" and never will. I am a
very good, and very competent commercial photographer. If you were in
Canada, you could look at any place served by Cara (largest food service
company in the country), my images are there, do you drink wine coolers? I
have shot a large amount of headers and POP cards for Seagrams, in years
past I shot most of the catalogues for Hagen (pet products . . . hated the
work, but it paid well) . . . read medical trade rags? Boehringer Mannheim,
my trade ads, me doing the manuals, Pepsico, fridge headers and dispensing
machine headers. Virtually every major fast food franchise on the east coast
of Canada has my imagery . . . numerous trade and editorial pages and covers
. . . all commercial work, but you know what? I am 51, and semi-retired . .
. I work when I want and for whom I want . . . and ALL of that effort allows
me now to pursue what I want to do (I forgot to mention in my previous lines
. . . I don't owe a cent for anything, not the house, the car, my 3
daughters university, NOTHING, it is all paid . . . discipline and
intelligent management, thank you).

I don't maintain a web site as I don't want to involve myself with an
obligation that I feel is unnecessary. I have a co-ordinator/assistant who
pushes me for it, but she, nor I, want to be bothered about the extra
hassle. I have been looking/talking, and there is a "trial balloon", but as
I said, I don't need it . . .

>Where may we view your superior work?

by the way, what a comment from a monkey.
