Bahr's Lobster House, Highlands, New Jersey.

Supposedly, this is one of the local "places you must take out-of-towners because it 'represents' the area." I wouldn't know. I'm one of those locals who "develops cholera-like symptoms upon ingesting lobster or crab."

I'm having one of those weeks. Three cases simultaneously before the Federal bench. A full two weeks of "no gym and no gin makes TPB go crazy." The sort of headaches that only come after two to three days of getting no more than four hours of sleep. So don't mind me for a bit. I'll be back with more of America's pastime (surprisingly, by saying "America's pastime," I don't mean "graft"), grainy pictures that were all shot to hell by the studio I use for developing. Or used to use. One of the two. I've got to find someone better, I think.

Have you considered creating your own darkroom for B&W? Your biggest investment would be an enlarger. I found an old Beseler for $200. I've never found a photo lab that did NOT screw up my photographs. A darkroom allows you complete control over the end result. Sometimes you can make a darkroom out of a bathroom.

I need to someday take the time to learn how to develop film myself before I can do that. I will eventually do so, although I don't want to give up color film yet, and I understand that developing that is very expensive.
