Well at least they are nice and clean now. :-) Sonny, I have a question for you. I am documenting the rebuilding of an vintage stone stable in my home town. We are placing a sealed stainless steel time capsule into the masonry wall. I have printed some shots of the rebuilding of the stable along with a shot of the people who were instrumental in moving and rebuilding the old stone stable. The shots were printed with an HP B 9180 pigment printer on HP archival paper. What is the recommended way to wrap these photos before insertion into the time capsule. The time capsule will be opened in 2107. I am coming back to take shots of the event. ya right. Thanks, and sorry for hijacking your post. ;-) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Sonny Carter To: leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 3:51 PM Subject: Freshly laundered So, this morning, I took a fresh pair of slacks from the closet. I was putting my belt through the loops and found something in the pocket. It was my leather pouch in which I store two SD cards and a fresh Leica M8 battery. Sure enough, they had been washed and then dried in the electric dryer. I checked the SD cards and they write new images. I put the battery on charge, and after an hour, the yellow light goes out, I try it and it powers up the camera. Don't try this at home, kids. Leave experiments like this to untrained professionals. ;-) -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
