Midnight 2/8/2013 is a challenge, Ted as, these days, my local film 
processor only powers up his colour film machine once a week on Tuesdays. OK 
I know I could rush out and get a secondhand M8/M9 but it's an expensive 
option...

Could we make it the following Friday? I develop my own b&w, but somehow 
think that shooting "THE COLOUR RED" in black & white might lose its 
impact!!

>> walk of photographic life from Hollyood to the Queen of England!
>>
>> SO CREW POST YOUR IMAGES!
>>
>> And please let's not get into silly discussion back and forth! Other wise 
>> we'll shut it down and those challenging the Old professor, Dr. ted! Fly 
>> your own flag!
>>
>> These should and will be "ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY!"  Not all the damn cameras 
>> on the market!
>>
