I just had an out of town, 'acquaintance / photographer / accomplished
printer', in my darkroom so I could develop a roll of film that he used to
test a camera he was thinking of buying... When I swung open the cupboard
doors and there stood cans of gas line antifreeze, Red Devil Lye, 20 Mule
Team Borax, Arm & Hammer Washing Soda, and Vitamin C powder, he started
mumbling, "No way... This is a joke, right? Where's the D-76?"...
Funny thing, after the negatives were hanging to dry and we were leaving he
was still mumbling, " . . & the goddam negatives look great.. I don't
believe this..."...

Sorta like the day he found the Santa Claus costume in dad's closet... I'm
not sure he will ever be the same...
