Hi TeriAnn,

Welcome to the list.  Had a quick look at your web site and see you are
into LandRovers - I have had a couple, a 1967 109 and a 1965 88 which is
sitting outside 95% rebuilt.  Ideal beasts for carrying large cameras and
heavy tripods around to places that are otherwise inaccessible.

Let us know when you put your vintage racing photos up on your site.

Platinum printing has interested me for some time and have recently
acquired a B&J 8x10 with the idea of trying out some of the alternative
printing processes.  Well that was one of the reasons :-) Have read a
little around the subject and it seems that a good darkroom ventilation
system will be the first step.

Share some of your platinum printing experiences with us.



All the best,

              Clive     http://clive.bel-epa.com
