I suggested that he buy his film overseas, and send the exposed film back to himself by DHL or FedX - hope that was right. If not I will hear about it. I remember talking with Cole Weston about something like this - he was in France and felt the need to get his 8x10 chromes developed quickly. He found a shop in Paris that quoted some outrageous price. Cole said it was double what he paid in CA, and the owner said yes, but you are not in CA, are you? The place was a pit, with cigarette trays everywhere etc. He said the chromes were perfect, and the guy wouldn't charge him anything when he picked them up. Days long gone, I imagine. Ken
