P3D It's not to late Mark...

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Mark Dottle talks about his equipment handicap and possible alternatives
(rent pictures, bribe the judges, etc.) now that he is looking for "urban"
pictures with no Realist, little time, poor weather and no daylight.

Mark, it's never too late... You still have an SLR and plenty of time.  The
sun might come out tomorrow, you might find a Realist (I can loan you one),
there is plenty of daylight during the weekends and, most important, you
still have more than two weeks.  It is not too late until the day of the
competition, say, 12 noon.  There are labs around that develop slide film
in less than an hour.  You could be mounting them while you drive to
Cleveland. 

I've shot my best pictures the weekend right before a competition in
Detroit.
