After decades of sticking with painted illustraions for their paleontology articles, they've gone digital. They used a custom version of Mojoworld, among other things.

Cool,
Which reminds me, we used to have an uncle who worked as a photographer for National Geographic. He was always very eager to take family portraits. Being of modest circumstances our extended family was always thrilled since otherwise such a thing would be unthinkable. He would arrive bristling with cameras, tripods and lenses and proceed to muster us into some form of family group. We all felt it was a minor inconvenience to paint our faces, don loin cloths and hold stick spears to avail ourselves of such high professional services at little or no cost.

LOL! But didn't the women of the family get tired of taking their tops off? ;-)

Well I didn't like to mention it but I could never look Great Aunt Mary Jane in the eye again. :)

PhilC, Expect to hear from my attorneys for the pain, suffering and mental anguish I had to endure when your post caused me to expel a carbonated diet beverage out of my nose. LOL. Talk about a sinus enema! I didn't see it coming. All I can think about now is the movie "Krippendorf's Tribe". Cheers, RWB64

To return to a conversation from a couple of weeks back - I've always wondered about you East Londoners, Phil.
