Dear Bret,

David Walker from England who made the images of my website and the
landshells. Maybe that he can
shoot the fotos for you. He also make microscopic images.

> Currently, I'm prepared to submit a paper for publication on 40 of these

> photographer who was to photograph my shells had to decline his offer
> due to an unforeseen family matter. This means, that I'm in need of a
> shell photographer!

> Yes, this is a S.O.S.....

> Most of the shells fall into the micro-shell range (2-10 mm). If you are
> a photographer that has the skills to do this kind of photography or

> I'm not a rich man, but I can make some payment for your effort.
