Business
Sorry:
I must have missed out on some serious philosophical
thought. I'm a camera geek. I have a small fluffy dog who
is trying with every breath to be a human. To her display
she continues to be a small white dog, with a black spot.
She is a cooperative photo model who will pose for cookies
and peanut butter. She doesn't seem to care if the images
are black and white or color. Apparently, she is addicted
to peanut butter and doesn't care about digital or analog
images, as long as she gets her fix.
As you must know peanut butter is high in cholesterol. If I
were to give her too much peanut butter during a photo
shoot, and she strokes out, does that mean I'm a bad man?
If you live in some remote region unable to secure adequate
peanut butter, I'd suggest almond butter as an alternate.
One doesn't have to like girls to like almond butter.
be well and don't smoke.

There is actually a fair amount of stuff on
photographic gelatin on the web as a Google search will
reveal. I have seen rather conflicting material in old
literature on just where it comes from, some old Kodak
material states that its cow or steer bones, some later
stuff indicates its from pigs. Modern emulsions have quite a
bit of various polymers in addition to the gelatin. However,
nothing has ever been found that will replace gelatin in
photographic emulsions.
FWIW, there is NO cholesterol in peanuts or peanut
oil, what you must avoid it saturated fat such as the
hydrogenated fats in peanut butter that does not require
stirring. However, at least one report states that peanut
oil causes worse clogging of arteries than butter. Peanuts
are not nuts but rather legumes, real nuts do also do not
have cholesterol but do have a lot of fat in them. There
appears to be some controversy (actually considerable
controversy) about the value of polyunsaturated fats, some
sources claim they are good for you but others say all fats
are bad. Among the latter is Dr. Caldwell B Esselstyne Jr,
an author of a book on preventing heart disease. Dr. Dean
Ornish is not quite so extreme, for instance, in his book
_Spectrum_ he recommends having a small amount of dark
chocolate every day to reduce blood pressure. Too much is
bad for you. He also recommends foods with omega-3 oils.
Since I just had angioplasty (four stents, got Prince
Philip beat by three) I have more than a casual interest in
diets to reduce clogging of arteries and trying to unclog
those which are already clogged. My internist tells me that
the very low fat vegetarian diets _do_ work but that for
other purposes, for instance weight loss, others,
specifically low carbohydrate, are better.
My cardiologist turned me on to Dean Ornish and I now
recommend his books to this list. All available via Amazon.
You can do this without having to give up film.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
