. and I agree w/her personal sentiments about what it is to be human.
One does have to "distill" the material spoken about on the list yet I
have gained immensly both by adding my 2 (cents, centimes, shillings,
shekels, whateve)r AND by perusing both the posts and archives.
Newbies (and I dislike that term as much as "lurkers" in that it starts
to establish a class system) should just really check the
origins/archives and then jump in with questions and thoughts … too, try
saving addresses and sending queries off line to individuals to check
out your ideas and knowledge.
It would be nifty if the list could open up more and discuss a broader
range of what we all know as Alternative Process photography.
I also think, Steve, if it is possible, that we could display an imager
per week from one of us for all of us to view on this list.
