The right to resort to time and materials was also in my price list
John.  But that was there to protect me from the person who tried
everyone else who was cheaper, and then came to me afterward. More often
I could protect myself from those people by simply saying, I can't do
it. I think the only applied time and materials twice ... once was when
the person's film developer had left a huge thumb print in the sky ... I
combined that Bamberger negative with the cloudy Montana sky from one of
my Milwaukee electrification negatives, and then had to air brush the
boundary in between.  I think I had a copy negative of made of two
separate prints of unequal density mounted together ... it took me at
least ten tries to get the density and contrast passable on both
halves.
