Re: IR with no direct sunlight

["Keith Zimmerman" <zz_ir@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes George, I would also recommend developing the film myself, but I will 
not do any film or paper developing because I refuse to introduce 
photgraphic chemistry into my septic system (settling tank and leach field) 
and the open environment.  If I still lived in town where waste water was 
processed, I would still have a darkroom and do everything myself.  This was 
the only con to relocating my family to the country.

Thank you for the information.
