How difficult can it be...?

I picked up another order of images today that I had developed. I used to use London Drugs Photo Station for the development of my digital images. But I had to stop going there as it started to get harmful to my health. Their lab staff could not have cared less about the work they produced. Images where totally over saturated and nobody thought that there was anything wrong with it.

Eventually I found Future Photo. Their staff in the store does not have the foggiest idea of the image development process. But that is to be expected. But nevertheless I was very happy with their lab work. The images always closely resembled the look of my digital files. This is extremely important to me as I am an very critical photographer. Until today that is... I don't know what they were smoking or sniffing, but the outcome for sure is not acceptable. Most of the images I had developed at least once before and therefore I know it has nothing to do with my files.

It just infuriates me when people produce below standard work!

Swissboys

Swiss boys
Wenn sich alles um Fußball und Rasenkampf dreht, sollen die Schweizer Berge WM-müden Frauen Zuflucht bieten. Die Tourismuszentrale lockt mit halbnackten Beaus und propagiert offen den Sextourismus in der Schweiz.

Ich weiss nicht aus welchem Land die abgebildeten Bauern stammen, aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie in der Schweiz Kühe hüten...

Klaus wants me to ask the officer on Monday to schedule my swearing in ceremony on July 1, which is Canada Day. It would be cool, as on that day the ceremony is a huge production. Oh, of course it is also our wedding anniversary. Well, I don't think they take suggestions...
