The well-equipped woods photographer

My latest and greatest item for photography in the deep, bug-infested woods is that $8.95 headnet, which effectively thwarts skeeters and blackflies immune to industrial-strength DEET. With it I had no problem peering through the viewfinder, and neither did Deborah Abbott, who wore her own identical headnet while snapping this photograph.

Henry,

Please tell Deborah that she did an excellent job with this outdoor portrait of you in your new black veil…quite becoming, I might add. Seems that the netting might work as a substitute coffee filter, fish seine, heck, it might save your life some day! And, only $8.95!
