The reproduction office, back in the old days...72 years ago. These galls are all dead now. Just shadows in time.  One gals runs the prints off on the mimeo machine. The rest collates, stacks and staples. 

I got a nice film for Halloween I hope to scan for you - Halloween Hallucinations 1931. I will have to pull the Retroscan out of mothballs. I hope to get it out by Oct 31. After Oct 31, people just move on to Thanksgiving, so one has to be timely with the holidays nowadays.

Although that timeliness doesn't seem to apply to the stores. At Lowes they had Christmas trees and decorations up in September! You can't enjoy Halloween; you have Xmas pushed on you before Halloween and Thanksgiving. Well, that is how it is in 2022! Without continual and ever-expanding spending things will collapse!

It is sooo nice when you are settled with your gear and don't have to keep spending and buy more and more...you can just concentrate on producing. Robert H, talked about labs with loads of different scanners. It would be nice to have ONE decent scanner and be able to just produce!!
