Wit, wisdom and not taking yourself too seriously. With those
qualities the size of your "camera" won't matter.

You have a one track mind.

The most important thing is a lens hood and a professional looking tripod.

If you use Penthouse mag as a guide,
the most important feature would be extreme close-up.

I find that what works best is a small light camera with auto focus and
romote trigger....then you scoot it along the ground until its in position
and fire away! Its best to get one with low light abilities as using a flash
can lead to problems.

Why would someone need an Apple Computer, much less a dirty one?

Yes, unless the nude shot is for biblical porn and you need a
burning bush.

I find that I take better pictures with my clothes on!

Seems to me, uni-gender speaking, a nude photographer should be
mindful of sharp edges and possible pinchings. Not to mention the
items that oveheat with continuous use...

Lots of money, girls like the bling bling.

Get a Canon 1Ds MkII + Canon 85 f1.2L lens and some big studio lights.

Have the girls picked up by limo and brought around to your studio. The
studio should be large, expensive and in the good area of town. Have
Champaign and strawberries on hand in your studio (and in the limo).

Also you should dress in Amani and wear a Rolex.

The only other advice that I can think of is that when the girls are naked
and you are taking pictures, don't masturbate over the girls - they
probably would not be impressed by that.

well, i actually think bush and clinton's motives are fairly similar --
they both want to help people -- but their methods are vastly
different. e.g. clinton thinks tax cuts decrease tax revenue, whereas
bush thinks tax cuts increase tax revenue. (with the current 1/2
trillion deficits (not including the iraq war nor katrina) -- i'd say
tax cuts decrease tax revenue.)

in broad terms there are two kinds of republicans snaking around
washington. both groups agree on the talking points (e.g. tax cuts
increase tax revenue, being compassionate means not helping people,
slamming my fist into your stomach hurts me more than it hurts you,
minimum wage means maximum wage, etc.). one group knows it's bullshit
but don't give a damn because they hate the idea of paying for other
people's stupidities with their tax dollars, while the other group
truly believes the campaign slogan bullshit.

i think bush falls into the latter camp.

The unfortunate truth is that almost everything bad you hear about Bush is
true while the same cannot be said about Clinton. Clinton has personal
failings that only became a public liability when the Neocons made them so.
Bush's failings more directly effect his job and the country. Moreover;
Clinton really seemed to want to do what was best for the most people while
Bush is out to benefit the elite. Ones motives are important...and if your
motive for lying cheating and stealing is to line your pockets and those of
your friends you give up a few feet of the moral high ground.

Keep voting for the Democrats...they need at least a few people who
will.

Fletis,
Well there are degrees of liberalism and conservatism. You wouldn't
just say, let the New Orleans people take care of themselves it's not
our problem, would you? I find that extremes in almost any position
don't usually work. Something a more moderate approach work more
consistently.

Bill,
I don't hate him, don't really hate anybody. OTOH I don't have respect
for him and the decisions he's made. But this isn't to say he hasn't
done some good things as well.
