Looking for calls looking for your medium?
To find all the photography calls in the PDF, use Adobe Reader’s extended search (Shift+Control+F for PCs or Shift + Apple + F for Macs). Enter PH. Check Whole words only and Case-Sensitive and hit Enter. You’ll get a clickable list of all the right entries. Click on any to go directly to its whole entry. You can then drag the ones you want into a word processing program to make your own custom AOM. Do the same thing for All and then for 2D (as each accepts photography, too).
Follow a similar procedure for whatever medium you are looking for. See list of abbreviations on p. 3 and elsewhere.
