that because of the title I originally sent this out under it may have
ended up in a lot of spam bins, so I’ll try it again here under a new “subject”
line. Sorry if you are getting it twice...</B></FONT></P>

style="size: +0"><B>When I retired from my long professional practice I joined
the BCMA in a desire to give back to the museum community that has supported me
so well. I joined to be able to have the opportunity to teach members and
institutions how to effectively photograph their 2d and 3d collections for the
necessity of digital presentation and preservation. There are many specialized
techniques and paradigms relating to digitization of collections; I am
conversant with most and interested in sharing that knowledge with you at your
own location. And I am willing to do so for just direct travel expenses and an
honorarium of $100 per day.</B></FONT></P>

for discussion including group sessions with neighbouring institutions, targeted
subject topics, inside studio or outside locations, etc.. I would hope to make
any occasion fun and useful to your needs.</B></FONT></P>

professional photographer practicing for over 45 years. His practice included

collection in the BC Archives at over 144,000 images. He is also extensively
collected by the University of Victoria Library, Special Collections with many
thousands more. </FONT><FONT style="size: +0">Rob is also the author of one of
