Hello,

My name is Ron Smothermon. I work with commercial photographers as a producer. Currently I am working with a photographer who is shooting an ad campaign for Barclays Bank.

One of our shots is of a gentleman, standing on a dock in a freshwater lake with two kayaks on either side of him. The art director wants a single and a tandem kayak and wants them to be made of wood.

If you might know of anyone who might have these it would be of great help to me. These kayaks will only be tied up to the dock and as it is looking it will be at Lake Casitas near Santa Barbara California. We are shooting this January 14th and will only use the kayaks for one day. I am willing to pay a rental fee to the owners, show proof on insurance, leave a deposit and promise to return them in the same shape as I received them. When the ads are printed the owners will receive a copy of the ad.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,

Ron Smothermon
