[LargeFormat] Those Sort of Pictures

[rstein]

Dear George,

    I am a little concerned - if you are doubled up in pain you are doing
something wrong. Have you ever considered studying the little booklet that
you get from the Parent's Association. The text is a little vague but the
diagrams leave nothing to chance.

    Further to the instructions posted earlier today I must apend the
following:

    No matter what the prospective mother looks like - or for that matter
the prospective father - you must preserve a professional mien whilst taking
the pictures. Comments like " Who in their right mind would impregnate you?"
or " Pray that the baby doesn't resemble you." may be heart-felt but are
unlikely to lead to a cheerful session. If in extremis you may bayonet on a
No.8 Zeiss Softar or take to the front element of your portrait lens with
#120 emery paper and put belladonna drops into your eyes until they blur
over.

    Uncle Dick
