[imc-nyc-photo] Photo ?'s and comments!

[Diane Lent]

I will be the contact person with the Brecht Forum just to facilitate.  The project
should be with the photo team.  I am working full time for UFPJ and won't be able to
attend meetings.  I do want to submit to the show.  This is my submission; a phot o
essay called "Messge for Bush" <http://dianelent.com/bush.html>   If money is raised we
need to give a split to the Brecht Forum.  They are moving and are in an intensive fund
drive for that so if money is made we should give them half.  Diane
