I know from a Chinese friend it's the year of the snake. Such pictures would be welcome too. Speaking of color developpement, indeed if you can process E-6, you can also process C-41, it's much easier and takes less time. Take care of the critical temperature for the first bath. The rest is a simple walk in the darkroom for a few moments. When I was much younger (E-4) the whole process was a nightmare that kept you in the darkroom for hours. E-3 was even worse, you had to reexpose the whole film. And once you started mixing your products, you had only a few days to use them. I'm happy to hear I am not alone developping B&W and color these days in a world of digital technics. I don't mind the chemistry or the filtering of color negs, but I hate mounting diapositives. The only thing I regret in color is that you cannot assemble your own products as for B&W.
