If you
wish to use any of these photos, either directly pluck them or contact me and I
will send them as you wish. I can also show you 68 additional good to excellent
digital photos about this topic if you wish to see them in either thumbnail
format or as above. Just let me know. The above photos have not be changed through Photoshop or other process so if you wish

will add up. (If you have no website, check www.kodak.com
or another free site to see how you can post photos at no charge for others to
view and download.)
Put a
short title under each, then add a caption for each
photo below the title. Keep it a sentence or so long, about two lines deep in
type. With the general topic (

that's it. It's the copy that sells unless, by a miracle, you have an
extraordinary photo (a whale eating a swimmer or the
