So am I.  Between the stink of the food courts and the distorted sound
(odd-order harmonics, the worst kind), you want to vomit about halfway
through anything.  BTW, she (the photographer) was also using what appeared
to be a Z6 print washer.  And, it's only 51 years hence.  I still like
platinum/palladium printing, which was old hat 51 years ago.  Maybe it was a
commentary on the soul-less digital films -- that went over my head.
