I am excited that my photo made the list of nominees for the book. Congrats to other nominees and, again, congrats to everyone who took part. Alx and other staff, many thanks for this project and for all the hard work you put into it. Take care, everyone.

Congratulation to all of you who made it to the book nomination. Just one question: why is this nomination not a guarantee for a publication? sorry, I may have missed something =P Are there any other criteria needed for the book? I thought the suspense is over...hhmm...not quiet guys!!! Warm regards, Agung

Agung, in answer to your question - A harsh reality of designing a 320 page photo book is that some photos will inevitably get left out, even at the last minute. The nomination short list represents all the pictures we would LIKE to put in the book. It is only when you try to put them together as a collection, on the actual pages, that you see what works together and what doesn't. We have a fantastic opportunity with this book. We must work it this way to ensure the book is an outstanding reflection of what we all set out to achieve.

Nix the earlier message, I quess I was just still asleep....duh! Well, I am so proud to have been a part of this project! I congratulate all of the winners and participants. We ALL did very well. I would also like to extend my thanks and gratitude to ALX and staff for being willing to undertake such a project. I also hope that the future will bring other projects???:) Well, gotta go for now. Everyone take care, and take lots of photos!

Hello Alx, the MPP staff and all the winners and nominees who have made this far, I am sure you will hear a lot of 'congrats' in the future, but I gotta say: Hey, congratulations!! A toast to you all. In response to a request for more diverse voices, I thought I would join in this discussion list after some absence. First of all, I have a comment about the nomination list. Although I don't like the idea that some will still be left out, but it could be the best way to do it, speaking from my personal experience in putting together small photo portfolios for school. Sometimes individual pics are all great shots, but when you lay them out onto the pages, they either don't match each other or the sequence doesn't flow. Now, talk about 500, it must be a huge task! Secondly, about the MPP itself, I think we all know this is historic since the topic is about the Millennium. But more importantly, this project could be a milestone in the history of PHOTOGRAPHY, don't you think? Since photography was invented, it has had the tendency to allow those who are socially and economically priviledged to express through this medium to the mass audience. But now, given the diffusion, democratization and revolution of the internet, a platform on which so much of the MPP is based, coupled with the ingenius minds who has organized, run and believed in it, for the first time in history, 'photographers' from all over the world, who participated in one corner of the earth, irregardless of their race, gender, age and professions, can have the potential to send their thoughts, aspirations and reflections to a worldwide mass audience on a coordinated effort to document a turning point of the humankind. What a project!

Thank you Alx for taking the time and energy to publish the award winners, book shortlist, and the time capsule winners. I really do appreciate it. Even if one of my photos doesn't make it into the book, it is nice to know that one was considered. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to move forward in the process of publishing and seeing this project to fruition. Congratulations to you, your staff, and to all who participated.

Congratulation to all the Israelis who appear on the three lists ! Did you notice that there are four (4)! Israelis between the 50 awards winners ? Maybe you see only three but Kobi Israel who apear as "Palestine" is Israeli too. Yes, Maybe we had the better location on the globe ? When I had the confusion: "where to shoot ?" I thought about that I can be in Jerusalem, Beit Lechem or other Cristian site but, at last, decided to take the photos in my city where Jews and Arabs where celebrating together. This fit my feeling more. Pini

Well done, well done! Congrats to all those great photographers who made it on the list (for the book), or received the judeges award, or will have their photo on the website! Best wishes to those who make it in the book! I really looking forward to getting my book! Any ideas on when the book will be finished and be in bookstores? Thank you to the MPP staff who have worked very hard so far! Thanks a bunch!

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!! Congrats everyone !!!!!! Can you beleive it??? This has been a great week... my son ( who is 11 years old ) has just won a national award through the Reflections Program in his school for photography. He was in the top 8 in the United States!!!( I guess the brainwashing has paid off.....)And then to find out about ( hopefully ) being in the book..... Thank you so much Alx and staff for posting the winners and for all the hard work that you did getting this project off the ground. Now for the promotion side of the coin... what can I do to help sell this incredible book? I know that the local bookstores here in Idaho are going to eat this up. And the Media ...I worked for the Idaho Press Tribune as a photographer for awhile ,so I know the staff very well and they are going to be so excited. What can I do to help?????????? Thanks again!!!

I am suing since my photo did not make it! You cant judge. Just kidding! I did not make the publish list and I am sad to say that I was a little bit bummed. To all that made it, Congrats. You are well deserving. I am happy to even have been selected as a part of this, even as a selectee for the Time Capsule. Everyone should be proud of the work that is accomplished and the finised result will be fabulous. See you all in the next contest. Next time, I won't be so easy on you all!!!

I haven't forgotten about the travel piece...still working on it inbetween assignments and hope to have something posted by mid-week for all those that are interested. To those who didn't make the lists.....keep seeing, clicking and learning.....this photography is a great experience that opens the doorways to life whether you do it as a living or hobby. Jim

Congrats to all that made it to the short list. And thank you Alx for putting us out of our misery. I know that I didn't make it to the book but I did make it to the "time capsule" and I should be thankful for that. I wish you all luck on the next big step. See you in the next project. Oh, and Alx and the MPP staff, thanks for the opportunity.

Alx, Thanks to you and your for doing all the work to make this happen. Judge's Award Winners, congratulations. I so look forward to seeing your work when it comes around. Fellow book nominees, I know how much I learned in the process of preparing myself for Millennium Eve. As an amateur--heck, I never had more than a fairly decent eye and a point-and-shoot before--I had to learn practically from scratch. Now, I take a pretty good photo. I have five books of shots I took in Egypt that I will treasure forever; and many of them are much more than snapshots. This is all BECAUSE Alx made the MPP happen. Fellow time capsule winners, same as above. Send your friends to the Time Capsule web site when it goes up. Add your electronic publication to your resume. Be proud that you took the time and invested your spirit and your labors in the product of an endeavor that will be around for years. It isn't often that we get to do something that lasts. To those who aren't going to be in the book or the time capsule, keep trying. I shot five rolls of film at the pyramids on New Year's Eve and I wasn't sure until weeks later that any were going to turn out and didn't know until much later still if any would be nominated. I have to be completely honest and admit that if my photo hadn't had the pyramids as a backdrop to fireworks and lasers, my shots might not be anything special. The photographer has to decide on the camera settings and press the button, but the subject can make all the difference. I was lucky to be in a time and place that was so memorable. Hang in there. Alx, Thanks again! Richard Smith -- Egypt

Well, I had my little mourning session. I mourn more for the shot that I know would have been "IT" were it not for a problem with my new flash (the expensive one I bought for the shoot) than anything else. But as photographers, we can always remember the ones that got away! I found it rather fun to get to hold onto hope for the extra time we had. I am very pleased to be in the time capsule and will look forward to whatever Alx and crew decide to orchestrate next. And yes Jim, I'm still shooting!! It's who I am. Still looking forward to meeting you too. Congratulations to the book short list and judges awards winners!! And to Howie, are you still trying to work up a group meeting? That would be wonderful!

Alx & the Crewe, it is an incredible work you had to go through. I remember for one of your first note that you were a bit concerned the number of entries you have received. As I can see you have got a great response from all around the world. Now that the "names are out", and when you ,Alx, have some time ....can you give us a bit of a statistics, like how many countries did you receive photos, how many black&white, how many checked in and did not deliver, etc. no rush but it would be interesting. Alx thanks once more for all the attention and care you invested into this project.

HI, Alx, I had a idea...For those pictures that might be cut from the book in the designing stage, why not add an extra noninee page at the end of the book and make the pictures thumbnail size...cause personally I want to see everyones images.

Alx, your project became my dream thanks for it and for your attention all the time.Congratulations to all the participants!! It's very good to see so many brazilians in the list for the book.... I must agrre with Luiz Achutti. It's the begining and there's more work to come, principaly for Alx and his team. Hey Alx, how may we help you now?(can we help now?) And an other question: when will the "Time Capsule" be activated? All the best - Andre.

Hello to all and congrats to everyone involved. I just want to say how honored I am to be selected as one of the nominees for the book,it is just an incredible feeling. The people that traveled with me have been very supportive and have encouraged me to have faith. Two of the couples from this years trip and my ladyfriend and I are now planning a trip to Scotland for next year. This whole project has so many far reaching positive aspects beyond the book itself that make it such a wonderful thing. My thanks again to Alx and the crew and everyone else involved. I am now working on my own show in a small local gallery that will exhibit in July or August. Again thanks.

I'm the one thier talking about, the one that doesn't know an F stop from a bus stop. I never paid more than $90.00 for a camera nor bought more than 2 rolls of film at a time. My computer is a relick still running windows 3.1. From these facts you can see why I so pleased to even be considered for the book. It is one of the greatest events of my life to be associated with all of the great photographers who were involved in this endeavor. Being a winner in the time capule was a real thrill. I guess it proves that "even a blind squirl find an acorn sometimes. Ed Story

Hi everyone, I would just like to add my congratulations to everyone elses...:-)) I can't say I'm not disappointed not making the book list myself, but truth be told I wasn't realy expecting too anyway, not when you think about the shear number of photo's entered, the odds were stacked against us, not to mention the talent of the winners. (makes you realise how much work Alx and the staff had to do) ....But I am happy for everyone that did make it, and I am over the moon that I made the Time Capsual 2000 List , and I am excited about seeing it....... I like Diane Sumners idea of having a few pages at the back with thumbnail sized photos, you could take it a step further and have all the time capsual winners there,?????? Are you going to list all the names of the people involved in the project in the book???????????. I think it would look good AND show the MAGNATUDE of the project, having the book with the time capsual photos in the back followed by all the names of photographers involed. then no one misses out.....what do you think Alx, everyone......????????????????/ Like Attila, I too would be interested in the statistics of the entries etc.............. when you have time ( what's that you say , you'll have time in a year or so *LOL* ) Bye for now....

Hi all and CONGRATULATIONS to all the nominees. WE DID IT!!!!!!!! I would like to send a special thank you to Alx and all the staff for making this happen. If it wasn't for an idea Alx had, this would not have ever happenned. It's simple for an idea to pop into your head --- BUT-- to make it work is another story. Great job to all. I'd like to also say that Dianne Sumner has a GREAT idea. It would be great to add the Time Capsule photos as thumbnail. Alx.. I see you added some of your staffs websites on the "Staff" page.. Thanks a lot ole' buddy. :) Just what I wanted --- more work.. :) God bless all... Tom

Mastic, NY, USA - Wednesday, May 03, 2000 at 22:35:35 (EDT)

Dianne's idea was great, but, as LaDona said it'll make the book bigger and probably it'll be a problem with the publishers. In the other hand I really like the idea of have all the names on the book. Certainly it's easier to do, because there will be only more text on a few pages.And Debbie is right: it will show the magnitude of the project, giving thanks and congratulations to all the participants. Cheers, Andre.

sunderland, England - Thursday, May 04, 2000 at 11:14:43 (EDT)

Hi Sonia, the issue of revealing competition statistics was discussed at length on this board about six weeks ago. To recap, statistics will not be released until the time of the book's launch, for reasons of publicity. In answer to the other question, I'm pleased to say we do plan on including every photographer's name in the book. Unfortunately the idea of thumbnails for all the other pictures, while a nice idea, is not workable from a publishing standpoint. We are, however, working with the idea of a photo montage image (mosaic style) comprising as many images as possible (albeit very small) but it is still just an idea at this point.
Alx Klive <alx@millenniumphoto.com>
Project HQ, Toronto - Thursday, May 04, 2000 at 18:26:46 (EDT)

Thank you Alx for considering Sonia and the other requests for thumbnails. I think their idea was good, regardless of the feasibility. Your plan to look into doing a montage is also a good idea / compromise. Please let all of us know (I am hoping it is OK to speak for everyone!)what we can do to help you complete this project. Has there been any further discussion regarding the cover?

Shawna, actually there is some good news about the cover. After lengthy debate and wrangling, it would seem that the Eiffel Tower picture is history. We are working on it all weekend to try some different ideas that use project photos instead and there's a big meeting Monday to look at what we come up with.

I am very excited and honored to be nominated for the short list. The people in the pictures ask me every day if we made it. The residents I work with in the Retirement Community deserve the credit for being so cooperative and really getting into the spirit of the Millenium celebration. We are looking forward to the final announcement. Liz Murphy

Feasterville, USA - Saturday, May 06, 2000 at 19:19:37 (EDT)

Anamitra, my understanding is that not everyone will need to send in negs. Certainly those who sent in slides will not need to send us anything further and those who submitted high quality prints will also be okay. In your case for instance, I am told that your print is of sufficient quality to be drum scanned as is. The e-mail that tells everyone which photo was picked and who needs to send us higher quality goes out this coming week.

Hi, Alx... after reading your previous message regarding original neg/slide, I think that it's still a good idea to use the originals for printing. I don't know how good my duplicate slide will be on paper. I still remember when I compared the two on the light table, the original was of course better. Since we've all gone this far...why don't get the best for the book? I don't think we should settle for less. Agree everyone?? Cheers....Agung

Congratulations to all who have made the short lists so far. Great to see a few Australians in the list. I was beginning to think I was a lone entrant (Lone Australian). The process is a bit like waiting to win lotto ....when will my number come up. What a great project we are all part of, the anticipation grows as I wait for "the" book. Well done so far Alx and crew, keep up the good work. Reaching this point may quiet some of the cynics.

Hello, fellows, I'm very happy with the news about The Book and also very proud of being listed to it. I hope change of cover will be fine and fair. Here, it be launched in few days a book about 2000 "reveillon" with photos of profissionals from the major newspaper of Rio (O Globo), and some ones more. The cover is, of course, a view of fireworks on Copacabana beach. The competition is growing...

I'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Pat..................someone actually missed me? Sorry folks, I had some computer problems. From time to time Windows gets alittle weird and flakey. I tried to reinstall Win 95 and wouldn't install, so I tried Win 98..same probelm. So I figured it was time to upgrade anyway. Went to a 600 Pent. III, another 8 gig hard drive and more RAM to 192. I save all my old C drive stuff in the new Win 98 formated "C" drive and have been spending days reinstalling my drivers for printers and scanners and all my favorite software. You see Win 98 only looks for stuff it installed. So a word to the wise out there.........get the upgrade from Win 95 when you upgrade to 98 or 2000. Otherwise.you'll end up like me for installing every bloody thing. No wonder the computer techs are so pricey and charge a fortune per hour. On the other hand...............one definately learns alot about a computer system when you do it yourself. Anyways...back to the travel tips. They were put on hold uptil the computer problem was fixed. Alx wants me to email him the article along with some photos to illustrate it and he'll build a page to the site............not a bad idea. Then all you'll have to do is copy the page and stick it in a folder somewhere. Actually that's better than for some of those out there having to sit here and read the posting. Makes it more of an interesting site instead of reading about patting everyone on the back for such a good job, which they do deserve. GREAT JOB EVERYONE to each one of the photographers all the way to the crew, sponsors, judges, designers, and publishers. There, I added mine.

wow! i hadn't realized what a part of my life this contest had become. i have never before entered a photo contest, and i never thought i could come this far. i feel as though all of us involved have some strange connection, and it is a great one. we all set out to accomplish the same goal, to record a small part of time in our own lives for the rest of the world to experience. i am very flattered and honored to be a part of not only the book, but the process too. i thank alx and all others that made this possible. it is an experience i will not soon forget. soon after finding out that i made it into the book, i had an admissions interview with the atlanta college of art (an incredible art school). i was so nervous! i found out today that i not only got into the school, but that i am being awarded a $1,000 scholarship based on my portfolio. everything in my life is going the way i had hoped. my future has never looked brighter.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to see that the book has covered just about every part of the planet. And i feel for the people who did not get in the final bit, including my friend Sandra who is on the other side of the world to me. You must say that this project has brought together some people who would never of meet other wise, you can also say that there are some people you would have wish never to of meet too, but that is our planet for you. The best thing about this book is that for people who have never seen parts of a country they have been to and just did not get that far, with the book thay will.

China photography is a Chinese folk WEB site on photography. It mainly introduces the photography works on Chinese scenery, people and all kinds of Chinese folk customs made by Chinese photographers. China is such a large country that even our natives are always excited by what we find every now and then. As photography-enthusiasts we will keep exploring the natural beauties and produce more excellent works. Through these works people all over the word may have a better understanding of China and much more like china, and also through these works we expect to exchange experiences with photographers abroad so as to improve our photography skill all together. http://www.chinaphotography.com

Hi all! Quick question for my fellow photographers: I am graduating from college in less than a week and have been studying photojournalism for about a year now. I studied in London for a semester and backpacked across Europe last year and am very interested in going back there to work with a newspaper or magazine. Does anyone have any connections or suggestions that may be helpful to me in this endeavor? If so, please email me or reply to this message. I appreciate it!

For as long as I can remember I have photographically chronicalled the comings and goings of my group of friends. Birthdays, picnics, engagements, weddings, babies, a day at the races...and New Years Eves. Even if it weren't for this project I would still have had my camera in hand this New Years because it's what I always do and it's what I love to do. And now I've just discovered that an image of two of my closest friends is potentially going to go beyond my little circle and get out there for the world to see, and I am SO excited! This is just how we have always gone about living our lives, and I cant wait to see other images of other people living their lives. Thanks so much to all at MPP for giving everyone the opportunity for this kind of insight.

By popular demand of friends, family and a teacher at our local Tech center I changed my mind at the last minute and sent in the image that was choosen. Yippy. Anyone else suprised?

Alx and others FYI Netscape Navagator vs Microsoft's Internet Explorer,: Cut and paste functions and this site. You will find that if you are using Netscape Navagator (I use Ver 4.72), you will find that cutting and pasting does not work. I bet Liz Larrabee's note(5/16)on this subject is due to her using Netscape Navagator. It is probably the web site software(Adobe Go Live 4) Millennium uses to build this site. I have the same problem with trying to copy and paste text from this sight(when using Nav 4.7). However, if you try Microsoft's Internet Explorer(I also use IE 5.0), you will find that the copy and paste function works just fine. Congrats to all who have recv'd the email yesterday.

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Tom! I'm at home today, the junior high called to tell me that my 13-year-old track star was sick. I was at work for while and jsut drove in to check on him, but caught him on the computer chatting and playing games. I think he was sick because of (A) a test he didn't study for. (B)a report his group was suppose to give. (C) for whatever, it's a beautiful day outside.nice and sunny, a real rare occassion for Western Washington.......... So I took off to stay at home and make sure he was sick when his mom returned from Evergreen State, where she's taking classes. Besides..........I needed to make a pot of my kick AAAAAAAAAAA chili cor camping. Here's my website for all those who are interested. www.oz.net/~phojo. Take care.......I'm almost finished with the travel tips feature. I should be able to get it to Alz soon so he can make a webpage to the site.

Alx, Liz had a simple problem. The link is fine. I sent her the link to the site and all worked out well. I do have a question on the e-mails that were sent out. Are all of them of the same content? Meaning does everyone need better quality photos. If so, how could I find out if I have to have an 8x12, professionally done photo printed? This is getting kind of confusing. I sent in VERY high quality photos. Do I now have to get them done over?? HELP !!!
Tom Donadio <KC2ABP@aol.com>
Mastic, LI, NY, USA - Tuesday, May 16, 2000 at 20:46:50 (EDT)

Tom, some people have been asked to send in higher quality, others have not. The determination was made by the book designers who currently have the photos at their offices. This makes it hard for us to double check. You may want to consider sending in the negative subject to the conditions laid out on the FAQ section of the instructions pages. That's the best I can suggest I'm afraid!

Since I am a Chinese student in Germany , it is a little difficult for me to find a professional photo lab in a foreign Country. It takes me a whole day to find a professional one for the best quality version of my photos around the city today. Every lab told me that they are the best one, which makes a little confuse at first. Anyway, I found one in which I believe my photos would be take good care of. But they have no size 10*12 or 8*10 or 8*12 that the crew asked. So I have to ask they to produce the size of 10*15 and then cut into 10*12. I hope the photos that I will receive on Friday will be acceptable. Also I hope I would not miss the deadline as soon as I send them out when I get them. Waiting to view my photos appearing on the book.

Yinan. You have brought up an important issue. I am concerned that the 10 x 15 prints that you are having made up are in cm not inches. We failed to put both imperial and metric sizes in the instructions. We will fix that right away but in the meantime, EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE THAT SIZES ARE IN INCHES NOT CM's!
Alx Klive <alx@millenniumphoto.com>
Project HQ, Toronto - Wednesday, May 17, 2000 at 23:05:12 (EDT)

What? THAT SIZES ARE IN INCHES NOT CM's! My God! I believe the my photo must be made up in CMs, since the guy in the photo lab showed me how large the 10*15 was. The size is no larger than the photos we use in daily life and each one costes only 1 Mark, which confused me a while. What stupid I am! I believe I have to ask the photo lab to redo my photos tomorrow. I do not care boring on this stuff, but worrying about missing the deadline, will I? Is it better for me to send my photo by email? Although it will be faster, I am not sure on software using. Anyway, please give me some suggestion on this considering my stupidity bring up an important issue.

Magdeburg, Germany - Thursday, May 18, 2000 at 11:06:44 (EDT)

I have several questions about my submission of higher quality photographs. I am posting them here in hope that other photographers may benefit from some of the answers. 1. I have received 3 emails, that all 3 of my photos were nominated, but only one needs to be of higher quality. Can I send in a higher quality of the ones that were determined to be of sufficient quality along with the requested one? 2. What is the preference of Book Team: Hi-res scan of the negative sent on CD or a large print. Would the print be scanned by publishers anyway, thus compounding the quality loss? I have access to the pro lab that has Leafscan45 and ScanView3000 drum scanner that can easily produce a 30-40 MB greyscale scan of my BW neg. They also think that these scans can have a dynamic range not obtainable in the print. 3. If I send scans of negative, can I put all three scans on the same CD, or should I send a seprate CD for each image? 4. What is the minimum size of print or scan for odd size negatives? Mine is 24x58 mm. Is it min 12 inches for the longer edge, or min 8" for the shorter one (this would make the longer edge over 19 inches making it difficult to send by mail)? I appreciate any comments/answers and of course I am thrilled to have all 3 of my photographs nominated for the book and to be part of this wonderful project. Alx, you and your team are doing fantastic job. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it. Marian Richard Miodonski

I'm very pleased that one of my pics was selected . And like some others, this was the one image I was hesitant to send. Glad I decided to take the chance. Now another few weeks of waiting for more results. I don't know if I can take the pressure! *L*

Edmonton, Canada - Friday, May 19, 2000 at 13:47:28 (EDT)

Marian, in answer to your questions. 1. If you would like to send in higher quality for all three nominated photos (as opposed to just the one we requested) of course you can do so. Perhaps the question should read, will they make it through our internal system? Yes they will! 2. Our preference is a drum scan of a negative on CD (as opposed to a print) but we recognize not everyone has access to those resources. 3. You may send them all three submissions on one CD. 4. Technically we have no minimum size for prints, we merely suggest 8 inches by 12 inches. In your case (although it is now somewhat moot), I would suggest that 12 inches for the longer edge be fine. Good questions, and congratulations!

From now on, I'll figure that out before I start asking silly questions. Thanks, Tom. Alx, should we enclose the captions when sending our enlargements?

Hello and congrats to all again. I am so honored to have had one of my photos accepted but I have a major problem that I hope somebody may have an idea for. The photo I took that made the cut was tken on an island in the B.V.I. and unfortunately when I changed film or something a piece of sand must have gotten into the camera and scratched the negative. The print I submitted I had scanned on my computer ans cloned out the scratch successfully but now that a better quality print is needed I am not sure what to do. I have taken the negative to a local lab and they said that they will do what they can but that the scratch is quite bad. If anyone has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate them as I would hate to miss out on this after getting so far because of a single grain of sand. Thank you

Rick, We used to rub our finger across the nose and get the oil off and run the finger lightly across the scratched portion of the negative. There some stuff on the market called scratch out. Basically it's almost like vegetable oil. Take a cotton Q-tip, dip it into the oil and run lightly across the scratch. It works............Cheers!!!!Jim

Like many of you the E-mail of nomination was a real surprise and has given me renewed interest. The millennium seems to have been so long ago! Oh well - I guess I will just have to see if my original photo will be sufficient, luckily one other they seemed to think was o.k. Still loads of fun to be in the process anyway and best wishes to all of you. Maybe someone is clairvoyant out there and knows just where I have tidied them away to!!!

I'm not trying to be a nag, just very curious(and a little impatient...):):) I am like so many people involved with this project, it has become a big part of my life. I have a lot of people that know me, and know that I am a photographer asking me which photo made it. I keep having to tell them i'm just not sure! Also, any idea when the book will published???

I do have a couple if items I’d like to throw out to the masses. 1.) I have been disappointed in the local labs for getting 35mm slides duplicated and am considering buying my own duplicator for my Nikon. Is anyone out there making their own dups with really good success? If so, what are you using? 2.) My wife and I will be spending the second week of July in Nova Scotia touring the south end of the province with a couple of extra days in Halifax. Any points we should be sure to see?

john, re:nova scotia (aka: acadia), my wife and i have been many times, and i do have a few recommendations. halifax is a great little city. there is a plethora of shops, restaurants, bars, etc. lots of music. friendly people. check out lunenburg about an hour south of halifax and peggy's cove about a half hour south of halifax. wonderful photo ops. also, immediately south of lunenburg is the ovens natural park: enjoy sea caves with thunderous waves. much of the south shore resembles the coastline of maine, if you're familiar with that. next time you go (and i'd bet you will) be sure to head north to the cabot trail on cape breton island (breathtaking vistas) and also visit louisbourg (a reconstructed mid-1700s french fortress complete with reenactments). i'm envious! enjoy.

John, As a displaced Nova Scotian, I can say with great envy that I wish I got to go home this summer. NS is pretty close to Paradise , especially in the summer ( or fall, or spring*L*). I would recommend heading through the Annapolis Valley. Lots of quaint villages. Wolfville has some wonderful Bed and Breakfasts and Just before Wolfville is Grande Pre, which is the site of the original Evangeline, the Acadian story. Evangeline beach is beautiful and there is a historical site there which is well worth an afternoon. Looks like you timed your trip just right too, because the Tall Ships should be arriving in Halifax right around the time you are. This only happens once every 10 yrs or so and is a fantastic site to see. While in Halifax I would recommend you take a sail around the harbour. There are quite a few boats along the harbour front that have site seeing tours for only about $10. And of course you MUST visit the Citidal. It's the origional fortress occupied by the English way back when. I could go on and on, but if you would like any more info, feel free to e-mail me. Have a great time.

John...what type of slide duplicator will you be purchasing? Will it have it's own light source or will you have to provide one. The duplicator I have is a cheapie.....Put the slide in front and aim at a light source. I found out that by using it on a clear, sunny day and aimed underneath the sun 1/2 up from the horizon and using Kodachrome 25 film works nicely....I've also used the Fujichrome 50 as well.Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
