I can see it now...

Rock,

Freight is how we transport some of our equipment now, but that could still add up money wise. Each of these copy runs eats up several thousand dollars in expenses and that's with living on the cheap.

Chris,

How funny    This might be a way to thin the crowds down.

I was surprised that the cost of the Tyvek Suit was rather reasonable and it may even look sexy.

Chris, Sometimes I worry about you!  LOL

I know, I know...you're all wondering why I'm messing with hazard suits when I need to be getting photos ready for my gallery!

Actually, I made really good progress today on the photos.  It's amazing what peace and quiet will do for a person.

Check out this article I stumbled on:
http://www.solinet.net/preservation/leaflets/leaflets_templ.cfm?doc_id=122

It contains the interesting quote:
"Mold and mildew can have an adverse effect on people. Those with allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems should stay away from infested areas, as many fungi will seriously irritate and inflame lungs. Some fungi can cause skin and eye irritation and infections. Prolonged exposure to germinating molds in closed areas (which exist in many library collections) can damage the lungs, mucous membrane, cornea, respiratory tract, stomach, intestines, and skin. Some varieties of mold are highly toxic, such as the strain found in 1990 in the basement of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City."

The key phrase is "prolonged exposure" but still it shows you need to cautious around mouldy photos.
