It's almost 20 years since I first went to Ethiopia and I made a point on 
that trip of visiting the museum in Addis where Lucy lives. I wanted to see 
the real fossils, so I was rather disappointed when I learned that the 
display was a cast. Of course the real ones are kept in secure specialised

I also asked about organising a visit to the Afar region, but the cost was 
prohibitive - jeeps, armed guards and supplies for several days. It's a 
tough area - you have to admire the team of paleontologists who spent so 
long out there.

Excellent.

When the Range Rover was 25 years old, I took part in a procession from
Solihull to the Gaydon motor museum, in a 25 vehicle convoy - one for
every year of the marque (mine was 1975 vintage, a shortened racer
called 'Katy') and it was a brilliant day. Photos of all participants
and vehicles were taken and stored in the national motoring archive
collection. Here's a couple of pics of Katy (not from that day):

Seriously, the lens is so frigging expensive that I could not buy the 
wimberley or kirk head just yet.  I might try out the sidekick which I

I have the Kirk King Cobra  have no issue with it.
Check out a recent addition  - the Jobo. Looks simple  I believe is less 
costly that the full blown Wimberly  Kirk.

Now what about the tripod you'll be using.

Sounds good to me.  Try to keep away from the end of April or I'll be in 
terrible trouble.

OT: Happy Birthday, George

2004-07-12 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
In view of all the film/digital talk of late, I thought this timely.
From The Writer's Almmanac (NPR):
It's the birthday of inventor and manufacturer George Eastman 
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eastman/, born in Waterville, New York 
(1854). He began to study photography in 1877 while working at a bank, 
and the following year, with a camera he invented, he took his first 
dry-plate photograph, of a view of the Charles P. Ham building across 
the street from his window. He went on to develop the handheld camera, 
and he called it the Kodak because it was easy to remember and difficult 
to misspell.
