Re: IR with no direct sunlight

["Keith Zimmerman" <zz_ir@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To everyone that has had input to this and responded to the questions I

Now, another question.  Does anyone know of a site that might have more 
detailed information about photographic chemistry in the environment?

I want to do much more research before making a decision on doing my own 
film processing.
