    OH! One more question, will the lower sitter temperatures (below freezing) mean we can no longer use a DSLR as a light meter?

    With Mexico being the third North American nation to declare an obesity epidemic I really do not see what you mean by a shrinking population. At work we have some super cold freezers, so wondering if that is where one should keep their prospective clients?

    I have been told that rats and cockroaches will survive anything so you always can specialize in their portraits. I cannot as we do not have rats in Alberta outside of authorized labs.

    Just visit any civil service office like the Post Office or DMV. Municipal Public Works
    employees are also immobile, and there's generally at least two dozen of them always standing around at the same spot. Or in a couple of the tough cities up here you could visit the emergency 911 phone operators. They don't move to pick up the phones, if they're in the office at all. Plenty of good "sitters" around for free.

    No I am serious we do not have them, they are even illegal as pets. Find a rat in your house or farmyard and government workers will come and stay until they are all dead. The rats that is. Look up Alberta Rat Patrol.

    Rats in food is simply gross, and besides gophers (Richardson ground squirrels) are plumb, common and easy to catch.

    I suggest a thin layer of petroleum jelly to prevent surface cracking. Much like cosmoline on a stored weapon.

    I'd be concerned about discoloration, but then there's that darn freezer burn to worry about too---

    Sure you do. You're just not looking in the right place.
    Check the phone book, under "Legal Services".
