To Ted's new keeper or prospective keepers - mail me through PH if you'd like a picture of Ted next to the KL twin towers in Malaysia.

Two questions (sorry, Ive not read every post in this thread)

1) Im getting ted next. Who is up after me. Perhaps an explantion could be woven into a reply to my next question, which is...
2) About Ted: Its all very exciting where he's going and been, but for people who dont know "us lot" ... I find the most interesting pics have been what Ted is doing, rather than where he has been.

Since I'll be shooting him in Sussex, given that only one photo per person is allowed (so I was told) does it have to be a geographically significant shot. And might we be able to include a few shots of him "doing things" as well as one "landmark shot" so we're not limited by the one shot rule, which I dont agree with?

Not very opinionated am I

I'm off to Le Mans again in 2 weeks, so it would be good if Ted could be sent to me in time for that

Rob... I just thought it would be good to get the bear off to as many places and as many photographers as possible. The photographer is as important as the place. If I had one photographer taking him on a 4 month trip (as I've been offered) then we don't get the variety of photographer / sense of humour as well as venue.

It's just a silly game to get him to as many people as possible. If I were looking at the site, I'd want to see a different photographer for each photo.... not 20 from the same photographer in the same location.

Niagra Falls seemed a good start!

By all means send more than one pic: I suggest one person/one venue... but that doesn't mean you can't get Mrs Bob to take one!
