<< Which, like Ken Norton, is where I made my first and only faux pas in
loading film. Shot a roll of 36 of what I recall to be some very fine
images only to open the returned developed film and discover a total blank
roll of unexposed film. >>
Twice, the famous 'sprocket demons' have messed me up...
I had a disastrous experience with NOT getting the film leader in enough..two
years ago I attended the semi-sweet graduation party of my God-son who was
dying of MD. he was extremely weak at the party but still very proud to have
completed his high school. I took a roll of 36 exposures and he dies within
the week. His mother asked the week of hte funeral to develop an extra copy
of them for her, but when I went to get it out, the roll was untouched....not
only a major embarrassment but extremely sad. I would do anythign to have
been abe to have retrieved those shots!
My design firm also fabricated some historically correct silk drapery
treatments for a B&B nearby, and finally got the reluctant permission of the
owners to take photos...and, you guessed it..the sprockets holes didn't
"grab" and , needless to say, i have no shots of those gorgeous swags. I just
can't make myself approach the owners AGAIN about it....

None goes his way alone.
All that we send into the lives of others,
Comes back into our own."
