where is the log fence set, or the wagon wheel?

I have some great shots of David on his skateboard that were taken when he was the only one in the family who would go to the appointment. No cheesy background, just David in his Jams on his board. Go Olan Mills!

jp... you must not have taken a close look at the pictures. There was a wagon wheel in there, and a couple of split-rail fence shots. Also, the classic library background is in there too.

Sadly, I was an Olan Mills telemarketer in high school. Yes, I was the annoying girl calling your home Sunday mornings to try and sell you portraits. In fact, I even had a comeback for the crying woman who told me she'd just returned from the emergency room with her son (I didn't use it though, and my manager was mad that I lost the sale.).

Yeah, that job didn't last long at all.

Thanks again for the Peru advice - trip was amazing!

I'm not sure what they needed a telemarketer for... those portraits sell themselves.
