We’ve roped the very agreeable Michael Bitaxi into putting together a guest post for us covering everything you need to get started with pushing and pulling film.

It’s a great read for those of you who are thinking about dipping your toes in but be warned, it’s a deep, dark...

A few kilometers south of Athens, one of the worst maritime disasters ever happened. The fourth worst loss of life caused by the sinking of a single ship in the world and the worst in the Mediterranean Sea.

SS Oria was a Norwegian steamboat that sank on 12 February 1944, causing the death of some 4,095 Italian prisoners of war, 21 Greeks and 15 Germans.

In the fall of 1943, after the German invasion of the Dodecanese, the Germans had to transfer tens of thousands of Italian prisoners over the sea. These transfers were made often using unseaworthy vessels, cramming prisoners locked into the hull of the ships, and without any safety standard. Several ships sank, by allied attack or by accident, causing the death of thousands of prisoners.

The Oria was one of the vessels chosen to transport Italian prisoners. On 11 February 1944, it sailed from Rhodes directly to Piraeus, carrying 4,116 Italian prisoners (43 officers, 118 non-commissioned officers and 3,955 soldiers), 21 Germans on duty or en route, and the crew of 22 Greeks. The next day the ship was caught by a storm and sank off Cape Sounion on the South East rocks of the small Patroklos island (the island is visible at the mid right) . Some tugs, arriving the next day on the scene, could only save 21 Italians, 6 Germans, the Norwegian captain and one Greek.

Forgotten for decades after the war, the remains of the wreck were discovered in 1999 by Greek pro diver Aristotelis Zervoudis who for his actions was awarded by the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella the distinction of the Knight of the Italian Star Order (Cavaliere della Stella d' Italia),the highest distinction Italy can award to foreign citizens. The monument was erected in 2008.

My sister's Garden Gnome. He had quite the adventure recently. He went all around her back yard, and had many photos taken of him. I plan on taking him on a little trip around the city with a roll or two of film, and get some photos taken with him, just to let him see the city. Then at the end of his little adventure, drop him back off and let my sister see the wonderful photos of him visiting all around the city.
