Re: [Leica] photographer needed in Victoria

["C. Higgins" <theboomguy@hotmail.com>]

Thats a hell of an offer, I didn't mean that to sound like a sob story just 
that telling me about the $10,000
guy was a little out of my price range. But I will keep that offer in mind 
since I've seen some of your work on the web, haven't I?

You sure know how to twist someone's arm.
I'll tell you what, fly me up there for the day/weekend, plus room and
board. The only thing you'll have to do is cover the film, B/W or color.
I'll hand the film back to you for processing. That'll be the whole cost
to you.
