In '98 I shot 97 rolls, mostly all 36's--I had hoped to do 100 or more, but got involved in building a darkroom, which took away from shoot-time with my Leicas. Now that the DARKROOM IS DONE (!) I will be catching up with '98--developing and printing the ones I hadn't been able to get to. What joy, me and my Leitz V35! All this, and a PAD for '99???--I suppose I can try. My husband and I met in 1985. During that year he had committed himself to doing a PICTURE A DAY, not photographs, but rather paintings, drawings, pastels, etc, and he succeeded! They were all on 18X24 canvas board. It was one of his most productive years. I bought one. The rest is history. Cheers, Mary
