Most of the site is in this archive but not everything. I thought I had my own
complete copy but some images are missing which unfortunately are also missing
from the archive. I'll just have to recreate the missing material.
I did not get into the developing aspect of photography to any extent but did
fool around for a short time with "monobaths." I found a book, "Mononbath
Manual" by Grant Haist, Morgan & Morgan Inc., 1966, which describes how you can
develope black and white film with a single solution. I tried that while in
college where I had access to the schools very large reflector scope. Got an
adapter made to attach my 35mm camera to the scope and spent some interesting
nights in the observatory.
