[rollei_list] Re: The upcoming Rollei book

The photos should be sent to:

dlridings@xxxxxxxxx

I have another address if this doesn't work.

Read the points below and check them off before you mail your photographs.

You can send up to 6. Please include a title and technical information
(camera, film is enough, more if you want).

Best,
Daniel Ridings
