So, as for yet another one of my interests, I have photography. I especially like film. Digital is convenient, but film is both an art and a science, especially when there's no light meter. Especially when you're camera is a box. Over the weekend I went to visit a friend, and in return for helping around the house, his grandma gave me one of her late husbands many photo toys... I aim to refurb it and shoot with it some time this winter.... B&W and color is gonna be the way to go. I want to try and find bulk B&W, although I guess that's not necessary, but I will be developing the film myself... Then I have to figure out if I want to print it myself, or if I just want to get it scanned into the computer and who will do that for me, cause I ain't paying for a 120mm film scanner... Anyways, pickies:

I have a couple of old 35mm I got when my dad passed away. I keep them in good condition (Nikon) incase I need them some day. There's film in there from old autopsies and unfortunately the last time I went to take one of the camera's to get the film developed I was greeted by 5 cops thinking I was the next Dahmer. Film was labeled Autopsy/John's 17th birthday. Yeah that didn't end too well.

Get this. I heard that Wally World is going to stop processing film and going only digital...

Its a sad, sad time.

 

[spooph]

not that big of a loss, if you ask me... there will be shops for YEARS to come that will process film....

Over at the one I "USED" to go to they'd frame them for $4.00 if I needed something blown up a bit and they wont do that with digitals now. Really sucks, at least for me lol.
