Hi there Frank,
Lovely to make your acquaintance! lol. I hear you on the "tongue in cheek" thing, and have learnt in the past that it pays to have a very open mind and a good sense of humour when using these lists! Flame wars are very entertaining to watch, but I generally don't participate. hehe.
As for my being "popular" - I think it has more to do with me, at that time, being a true "rose amongst the thorns" - I think there was only one other lady on list when I was around previously, and she wasn't a very regular poster. So being a 24 year old girl, kind of helped my notoriety a bit. Mind you, I do remember thinking that Shel was a girl for a bit there too! (Thinking that "Shel" was short for "Michelle"). Stood corrected (and very embarrassed!)when Stan emailed me a pic of him though! lol!
It's lovely to see now that there are a few ladies here though - I feel much more "at home"! ;-)
Sorry, totally off topic guys, better get back to the subject at hand, or I'll be making enemies already!
tan.x.

Well, now that you mention it, I ~was~ wondering about that "Photographic Artist" bit... <vbg>
BTW, hi. I've been active on the list for several years now, but I faintly recall that you may have been around, perhaps during my lurlking days, or possibly when I first started posting. In any event we certainly didn't get to "know each other" at all. You'll very quickly realize (if you haven't already) that much of what I say is tongue in cheek, and pretty much always to be taken worth a grain of salt. The odd salient point accidently slips through from time to time, but I'm working on keeping those to a minimum. (Hey, that's two salt metaphors in successive sentences. Not bad, eh?)
So, pleased to meet you. It seems from some of the other welcomes that I've read that you were quite popular poster in your day <g>. Everyone seems quite happy to have you back.
cheers, frank "Rider of Bicycles"

OT- my apologies to you all - I just noticed that all of my posts are showing "Tanya Mayer - Photographic Artist". In this context, it looks extremely pompous and conceited! lol. I subscribed to the list using my work email addy, and forgot that that is the display I have for it! Sorry guys, really, I am not totally full of myself... I promise.... *hides head sheepishly*...

away, which to a very impatient woman, is an absolute nightmare. Digital, in this instance, would be absolute bliss.
Why do you not process your own? At the most, £200 for a Jobo processor and tanks to process up to five at a time. £15 to process 10 C-41 36exp films. Probably cheaper if you are buying inquantity and tax deductible. Or you could go the whole hog and buy one of the Jobo ATL series autoprocessors.
If you go digital you will, in your situation, be spending more, not less time in front of a screen and you will need to invest in a high-end printer (or digital minilab) to create the output.
