This discussion reminds me of an incident several years ago,
while on a tour of a local Qualex lab. The men in the group
stopped to watch a group of nudes feeding off one of the
machines.

A friend recently pointed out a lab that does
"uncensored processing". Dawn Media, 2801
Fourth Ave., San Diego, CA 92103 (619)299-0500
outside CA (800)331-1751. It does not look
like I will ever need to use their services, so I
have no first hand knowledge. I would think you
would not have too much trouble having slide work
(esp. VM) done, since you are cutting and mounting
it yourself. I am not sure if Dawn does slide work.
There prices for prints and enlargements seems on
the high side.

Thanks for the time,
