DEAR CHRISTINA,
	That was one of the good things about shooting all those Chattel
Houses in 8X10...it was like working out with weights setting up, breaking
down and lugging around that 8X10 camera, holders and accessories!  I lost
my muscle tone while scanning and Frotoshopping around 110 8X10 negs to
prepare the digital files to go to the printer.  
		CHEERS!

Hi Bob, 
Actually it is my third  book but far more time than any other thing I have
ever done in life. And I am completely out of sorts now that it is done. It
is a very weird feeling, like, what was that all about? What do I do now
(joke, I have to work)? What I really have to do is join a gym from 1500 hr
sitting at a computer. It took a major toll on my body and muscles.
