When I was 14 years old I began mopping floors for a commercial photo studio every Saturday. Their portfolio consisted of a collection of 8x10 Ektachromes displayed on various light boxes throughout the studio; along side 16x20 and larger prints pulled from 4x5 and 120 film. They only used 35mm for slide show projects. Taking a loupe to those big chromes hooked, lined and sunk me for the rest of my life. I drive a '93 Saturn - 30 mpg + monthly oil change Regards, George Lottermoser george@imagist.com On Aug 31, 2007, at 1:18 PM, amr3@uwm.edu wrote: > I enjoy looking at my Kodachrome > slides primarily with a loupe, or projected, as a second choice, > rather than on > a computer screen or print.
