So Ted do you still hitch up your horse and buggy to ride down to the
hardware store to pick up glass plates that you coat yourself for the
newfangled wet collodion process? I know it doesn't have the resolution of
the tried and true Daguerrotype,  but after all, this is the 21st century.
You must learn to tolerate new technology. Remember also that
"photographers" do not hold a patent on scene visualization, composition,
and artistic creativity. Rembrandt and Matisse and their ilk did pretty
well.

By the way, how are you getting along with your own ELECTRONIC MACHINE? Or
do you have the steam powered version of the M9. ;-)
