    I am very glad he made it home safe and sound.

    An epic, awe inspiring, life affirming trip. I bet we haven't heard (?) the last from this remarkable man. Happy Christmas Greg

    I'd be utterly terrified to start development and discover a fault with the gear early on, whilst it wouldn't take away from the experience it would still be gutting.

    Also where do you start with thousands of sheets of film!

    BTDT, bought the T-shirt. It was not pretty, even tho it was only a three-month trip.

    Greg shot 25% color that was developed over time already. Hopefully he got feedback from those when he paused in between the silent and the more interactive sections. He did say his shutter started sticking in the last month. I think he well is aware of technical issues. But there must be great deal of eagerness to start developing. When he was in my darkroom for 3 days he did not want to process any film. He wanted to talk, and we did! We ranged widely on topic, ate well and visited Chicago Art Institute twice.

    The color lab that Greg used throughout the trip reported as each set was developed ... all were well exposed ... this was relayed to Greg from his father during the occasional contacts back home.

    By the time the shutter started sticking intermitently on his 135mm lens Greg had received a 210mm forwarded to him at Gold Beach, Oregon from Jim at Midwest Photo Exchange (on a lens board donated by Hugo and Chamonix) ... so he had an alternative. And, Jim had the shutter times checked before the 210 was sent out so Greg could be pretty confident with that one at least.

    Larry ... I've sent you a PM about Gregg possibly taking you up on your offer.

    Greg has started developing his film at school. However he isn't getting along with the hangers. What he's used in the past has been a slosher tray. However they are out of stock at B&H and the formulary. Does any one know of one for sale, or have one they coul loan Geg for a little bit (1800 sheets worth)?

    The other option is to build one. Which I could probably do in an afternoon.

    I'll add a wanted ad as well.

    A slosher is on its way to Greg. Thanks.
