[pure-silver] Re: New Years Resolutions - Photographic

I solved the light problem with my darkroom phone with ducting tape - 
not the standard 'duct-tape that can save the universe' - but a metal 
based tape for hot-air ducts. Completely light proof.

I deal with inappropriate time calls two ways - the voice-mail system 
and more fun, turning on the shop-vac powered vacuum easel and using the 
speaker phone.

Best of the season to all.
