OK, so scratch your first post for whatever reasons, and tell us about the changes in Kodachrome.

Brian Now be so kind as to take this subject to private E-mail because this thread is closed on this list.

My IRS 1040 says Photographer on it, but that doesn't mean I'm doing it for charity. My published work is frequently in corporate brochures, instruction and operation manuals, real-estate ads, point of purchase displays, advertisements and catalogs. I don't submit shots to railfan magazines frequently, mostly because it's not worth my time and postage, even if I do like the magazine. You probably don't realize this, but when I send my transparencies to my customers, it goes on their courier accounts, insured, because that's the way it should be. Why would I want to pay shipping to send my work to my customers? And the last time I had eight shots in CTC Board, I got a check for $80. Then I deducted how much shipping I lost out of that. I just charged a customer $280 just for the MISC ITEMS column for the last shoot I did for them, and they never even ask me why, even when I itemize it for them. I have to make a living. I shoot trains for a hobby, not for a living, and I don't do business like it's a hobby. You may not understand that or like that, but if you really want to get a feel for why I don't need to send in my RR shots for $10, then shoot for a living. I don't know what you do for a living, but I know damn well that you wouldn't do it for $10. And another thing is, sometimes one of the last things I want to do on the weekend after I did it during the week is to shoot more film. When I do get out trackside, I am damn serious about it because I owe it to myself to do the best I can, and that, I get a great deal of satisfaction from, which is why I still shoot trains, despite blowing through more film on some projects than you probably shoot all year. If you would like to see my published RR photography, then look at the SPORRS web site, or wait until my friend Jack Wolf's new UP Sherman Hill book comes out or other projects that I have my hand in currently. And you can be damn sure that when you do see my shots in those books that it was worth my while for whatever reason of mine.
