					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://scooterinthesticks.com/portraits/#comment-56495&quot;&gt;Paul Smail&lt;/a&gt;.

Thank you Paul for your kind words.  Environmental portraits were common assignments for me especially for magazine work and for undergraduate recruiting campaigns.  I hadn&#039;t looked at my page in a long time and remembered how often I got instructions from an art director to leave space for marketing messages.  When digital photography came along I often had a laptop tethered to the camera so the art director could see the images in real time and decide if I was making what was envisioned.  Very different from the days shooting Kodachrome and Ektachrome!]]></description>
