Yesterday

The bankruptcy sign in the window is poignant. Is there anyone that

uses film any more?

A very telling image.  IMO the misguided "Hour Film Developing" by the film industry was the final nail in their coffin. It became impossible to find affordable (not professional) processing that was acceptable.  I still love my DSLR though ;-)... Mike

At least the retail photo industry had to come up with new marketing tools to keep the business alive. Quality takes time

Thanks for looking in

I used to tell the local labs (who were capable of decent work) to hold my film until they weren't busy, days if necessary, and to take their time.  Invariably I would get a call in about 2 hours that my photos were ready.  Of course on the 2nd try they would get them more nearly correct.  It was a trying time in my love of photography and I almost surrendered.  Thanks for sharing this, but I'll move on with my digital now ;-)...

I just purchased a new computer, I transferred all my photos the other day, 52K in all. In old days talk do you realize how many shoe boxes that is???

Stay well my friend.

... so this the cave of the wisdom... Hi
