Talking about GELATIN, I read somewhere that the gelatin used by the
film manufacturing industry has animal origin. Now I remember, it was
in Pop.Photography (no, I don't buy it!!).
Just never went thru my mind this use for animal's gel and thought to
share it here for the benefit of those that like me didn't know that.
