Jeff and Marcia's Photos
I'm very proud of my work on the Slingshot Battle of Hydaspes
Gameday issue 297.
I was especially honored to be featured alongside my
mentor and idol Duncan Head.
Who has inspired me all these years of miniature
collection and gaming this era.
It was a great collaboration.
I must say it is such a privilege, and great fortune to be part
of such a group:
Marcia photographed the Slingshot magazine
cover shot of Poros.
Figures by Newline Designs and 1st Corps.
Credit where credit is due. My lovely
wife stands by me in all I do.
She shoots to the good photos and makes it all cool!
I'm lucky to have such a loving and lovely partner.

They wear painted helmets and carry colored shields embossed
with geometric patterns known as Macedonian stars and
crescents.
