[LargeFormat] road trip

[Jim Brick]

Les,

I suggest that you take items that show that you are a legitimate 
photographer. Things like business cards, association memberships, 
portfolios, etc, so that when photographing fields, barns, grain silos, old 
buildings, rural areas, train yards, etc, etc, etc, you can easily prove 
that you have no ill intentions in mind. People are very nervous and 
remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
