Wanna be Photo Editor for The Perl Journal? You'll get your name
listed in the masthead, plus $50/issue, plus expenses paid, plus
a free subscription.

I'd use your fun fotos for all cover pictures, and maybe for some
inside stuff too. F'rinstance, here's what I was thinking for the
premiere issue: a dorky looking camel (buy a stuffed camel and treat
it like a product shot), shot portrait-style, like Time's "Man of the
Year." (Sunglasses, cigarettes optional.) Think "WIRED".

I want striking, cool covers. You up for a little creativity?  WHAT
SAY YOU? Lemme put you on the payroll. You won't regret it. No sir.
