Robert,

No shit. Peter Hughes (yawn) especially slagged Gedney's work.

And Mike your thoughts on Kenn's work were my impressions as well,

he's very graphic and I like his style, and the woman do have a

powerful sexuality and are not afraid of it, nor victims because of

it (like much of the porn crap). But as stated eariler I do prefer

the non nude stuff.

Drop the camera, lens and all in that rubber goop that you can dip

your tool handles in, comes in different colors. Non reflective and

will help protect the camera from knocks and dents.

Chris,

Here's a <a href="http://www.vinylium.ch/articles/clean_LP.html">

And what are you driving? I once had an old Saab 95 wagon that had a

pitted windscreen, drove me crazy...(argh!)

Doug,

I have used mailers since that fateful day and on average 10-14 days

between San Diego and New Jersey, as it was before. I shoot K64

occassionally and so far I've had no problems. The USPS has improved

their service greatly since then and as far as I can see it's 75-80%

of the pre-9/11 service. And I wouldn't be concerned about the

electron beam gear frying your film either, check the USPS site for

the low down on this.

There's always Jim Kuehl, and eBay is a good source for lenses. I got

my v.4 35mm off eBay and paid 575 usd shipping and all from a guy in

Canada, it had a few minor specks inside and that seemed to deter the

bidding up. Otherwise it's pretty clean.

<p>

BTW is your @home account is still functional?

Check with City College, they have a pretty good photo dept as I

understand. SDSU has been running extensions courses, but the scope

of photo classes is somewhat limited though you might find them

useful. Also the post regarding art classes is a very good

suggestion, just ask Cartier-Bresson.

Dexter,

<p>

Place a piece of opal glass or similar in front of lens.
