Sonny,
Good question.  This trip is substantially on her.  She had a friend's
dad contribute a buddy pass round trip; she is flying business class
to Zurich for the price of tax.  She has worked more than a year at a
pediatrician's office to pay for the trip.

SX-70 manipulation isn't something that you shoot a couple of hundred
frames of.  You find a subject with texture, or lines, or form and
then go to work with the found and made tools to push the emulsion
around to create a unique, original piece of art and frequently trash
that looks cool.

I expect that she might shoot fifty to sixty frames the whole trip
which might hit 100 Euro.  This is not all that much really.
