Now that I've read this I feel as though I wasted my player photograph on the wrong task...Oh, well, good excuse for another project!

One of my favorite photographs is nearly 100. Anyone in the area next March? ~Waldo

I wanted to try something classic. After a little research I found that burning monks are VERY hard to come by these days. So much for that idea... What's the next best thing? The 1934 Loch Ness Monster photo of course! So, I amble on down to the lak...
