Ben, you are asking such a beginner question. We frown very heavily on
this. Search the web first. We are expert professionals. We don't have
time for your horse shit baby questions. Sign up for a photo.net
account and ask the fellas over there.

Another bad forgery. We will out you, but you are such a sociopath that it
probably won't make a difference. The real Gordon Moat would never, ever say
such a thing. Coming right up, our outing.

Formal, Informal, Group, Environmental?

The famous Marilyn on satin calendar photo; that was a portrait, no?

portrait (OH.....JUST A SEC..[click]..that's better)...could be considered a

Try men in their 40's. But with the income and intelligence of a kid
out for summer vacation. Well, actually a typical kid is smarter with
better income possibilities.
