Additional Items
I
do
my
best
to
comply
with
special
wishes
for
photographs
of
specific
places,
addresses,
brochures,
chronicles, and other items.
The
actual
field
research
is
an
essential
part
of
the
job.
Equally
important
is
the
proper
organization
and
presentation
of
the
results.
Rest
assured
that
you
will
not
receive
a
collection
of
loose
pages
and
disjointed
data,
but
an
excellent
presentation
of
the

results
made
according
to
the
same
high
standards as the actual research itself.
