When we leave Paris we'll travel to Villedieu les Poeles and then on to Tremolat on the Dordogne River. It's sojourns from Tremolat where I had hoped to use the large-format field camera, in the countryside. I'd like to enjoy Paris with my family, anyway. When I descend under the dark cloth they are always abandoned to their own entertainment. Presently I'm considering leaving the field camera behind. The red tape is becoming overwhelming. Nevertheless, we have a couple of willing friends...in Paris and Tremolat...who would receive a shipment of my field camera and its lenses...then there's the tripod...and the film holders...and the film...(sigh)... - -Gary S.
