Right, I wasn't sure at first, then when I learned it was a tape measure, I 
was blown away by the creativity.

Yea, I do that a lot.  You know, I learned of the work of Vanessa Winship 
that way.  She's a British photog who won an award & I googled her name, and 
was able to see all her great work.  She did a series of portriats of 
turkish young girls, I think it was.  Just beautiful.  Really, really great 
stuff.

Are you Toronto based?  I'm in Chicago.

I took a quick look here.  More nice stuff; I didn't look at all the photos, 
but my 1st impression is that the Flash Forward stuff is more mature.  What 
do you think?  You know, I'm going to have to take a portrait of someone 
sitting on a bed.  That seems to be very popular ;-)  Those portraits are 
everywhere!  I'll give a closer look to pause to begin in the next day or 
so.

Cheers, Christine
