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