what's in a name
"You wouldn't think it should be important in 2010 . I mean it's obvious when you think about it .....
look at all the ladybird shots on the net or on flickr ....and yet where are mine ... I look better, I've got a more interesting collection of spots, I didn't let my house burn down ( not like some other bugs we can mention) and I don't do anything unpleasant to humans .... yet I don't get equal photographic exposure. So it has to come down to the name. I bet you wouldn't like it if it were yours. And I hope you didn't snigger, it's not at all descriptive - I do not have a body odour or flatulence problem.
So I am not staying for this photosession - and I have not provided a model release form - I expressly forbid it be uploaded to flickr ..... I will take whatever legal steps are necessary to safeguard my image. "
Grumbling continues off camera becoming more and more distant ....
