Indeed. It's sometimes the real professional outfits that come in closest to desperate deadlines. The shoot I did for Runner's World magazine came with just 24 hours notice and they were already *past* their official deadline for the issue in which the images were to appear. (They had been trying to find stock images that would fit their needs and couldn't come up with any.) I've had similar situaltions with smaller, regional publications. Last-minute rushes are par for the course in the publishing business. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
