Ah yes... the nervous Art Director... I'm surprised he didn't make you go back
and
shoot it all on chromes.... I ran into one of those yesterday... I offered him
the
negs, he looked liked I'd insulted his wife or his dog, then he called someone
at
his separation house to ask "You can't get very good scans off negs can you"
then
he turned down my offer of a set of 300 dpi RGB scans on a CD, and he finally
took
off with a handful of 3x5 proof prints.... all the while muttering about how
real
photographers only shoot chromes...
