[NEohioPAL]Looking for Duplicate Photo style service

[Eric Oswald]

Actually, the photographer, Norman Freelan
(http://www.freelanphotography.com/portfolio.html), is
very good and has advertised on NEOPAL.  He also is
looking for the same answer as myself because he would
like to use said service himself, so your info is very
helpful to both of us!

And thank you also to everyone else who replied!  This
is a very good start!
