Thanks guys ... this has already been a great experience and seems as though it will only get better. Learned so much already from Patricia. Misha - You're darn right. :) I have two assignments to work on. The first one is a bit scary. She wants me to find several images that I really like (and you guys know the caliber of photographer that I like) and then I am to completely disect the photos, break down everything from poses to lighting to camera angles and then re-create the photos in the studio. And after I get it right, she then wants me to change it and "make the photo my own". Oh mama. :) -=>Donald
