For those of you who asked for the reference on this photography book at
Rochester, it is called "Photographing your Craftwork: A Hands-On Guide for
Craftspeople" by Steve Meltzer. It was published in 1993 by Interweave
Press. It is by far the best work on the subject available. And, it shows
you how to get great photos for very few bucks. (Including how to find and
buy a good used camera, make your own lighting, etc.) Sorry it took so
long, Kathleen and I have had problems with our server bureau. Hope this
info helps. Duane.

Although the above mentioned book is ok, I think your money would be much
better spent by purchasing "Photograping Your Artwork", by Russell Hart.
It details many more photgraphic options resulting in better photos while
still being understandable to most.
