[LargeFormat] Nix on the BTZ$

[Jim Hemenway]

$50.00 is the processing cost for 4-5 sheets, (depending on the lab
used) of 11x14 Ektachrome/Fujichrome.  I'd rather spend it there than on
a dark cloth.  Besides, with the modified sweatshirt it's really dark
inside.  The neck is on my neck and the waistband completely encircles
the back of the 11x14.
