Photography was limited to three rolls of my wife being lovely in a variety of settings which I will treasure and, again, not annoy you with. We took the time to visit Ted Grant and a more charming fellow I have seldom met. One word of caution though; be careful about buying his book! It was so good .... no ..... stunning! That we bought TWO and are now busy trying to resist the urge to buy more. It is simply amazingly and wondrously super. If you go to his website and look at the pictures displayed there you get NO idea of how wonderful they are in the flesh. This has convinced me that the tiny picture files we look at on the net really cannot properly represent any work of real quality. Fortunately this will work to my advantage when I get around to posting some of my own images: "You think they look crappy! Ha! You should look at the originals!" ;-). I will let you know what I think of Provia F and the 35/1.4 asph when the chromes are back. It is great to be back in brown oceanless Edmonton! John Collier
