Yes, I totally agree about the show pictures. It's challenging enough to photograph shows with a regular manual camera, but it's wickedly hard with digital. My camera, in the dark on decent quality, has about a 3/4-1 second lag time in between pushing the button and actually taking the picture. Some performers, like Roxy, work the camera and I can more or less guess from the song when they're going to be striking a pose. But sometimes the newer performers just keep wiggling all over the stage, and they're all but impossible. It's so frustrating!

Yes to the sepia too. The light in there's so dim and yellow that colours end up looking really bad for me. Black and white makes people look sexy.

Back in the olden days (when Clint was Mr. Diva's) I used to have to take photos for her and it *sucked*. Now only during Pride, thank goodness. You're a brave lady!

Do you know Clint? I have never met her and am dying of curiosity. I would also like to see some pictures of her archived a bit for the College pictures in the Program, since there are none really, and everyone wonders who she is.

Wow, Clint was my friend Melinda. I'm not surprised there aren't many photos of her there. She was one of my best friends in university, but stuff happened and we drifted apart.... I saw her last week, actually, for the first time in a few years

Cool! I would just love to see some photo's of her. Maybe she doesn't want them remembered, but it's still a part of the history of Drag in this town, and as good a performer as I've heard Clint was, he deserves to be commemorated, even if it just by reminding people that Clint Taurus(?that may not be spelled right) actually existed.
