If there are any photographers out there I want to tell you that this art director gets very annoyed when he can't download images from your fancy web portfolio to show his editor because it's in Flash. <BR/><BR/>I know there is a Wagamama on every corner in London but there are only two in the USA, both in Massachusetts.
