RE: alt-photo anniversary in 2009
I couldn't remember how long I had been on the list, so I did a search on the archive and found my name on 1995 archive, so it must have been at least 13 years! And I can't remember how I came across it either. It has been that long! Special thanks to Gord! Any many thanks to the list members, old and new, from which I have learned a lot. Thanks to Pete who helped me when I tried the fotempera process. And many thanks to Judy who helped me when I tried my first gum.
