I have a good friend who was stationed in Alaska during the Korean war.  Far 
far away from almost anything to do.  Turns out that he was the only enlisted 
man interested in photography.  Aside from having a fun time in the Enlisted 
Men's Darkroom, he also made quite a few bucks on the side by hand-tinting 
photographs of the guy's girls at $5 each.

He got pretty good at it, too.  

One day, one of the guys comes in with his mail and hands Joe a polaroid of 
his girl that she sent him.  A nudie, apparently shot on self-timer.

The more things change....
