I have a Lumix “point and shoot”

and a Nikon Coolpix L1000 that I got at a yard sale.

When I was a little girl (9) I used to load my dad’s Speed Graphic plates (huge negatives) and stack them in a carrying case for weddings.

Then he would shoot the wedding, and we would unload and develope the negatives, print up a set of proofs, and the bride would make her selection. Then we would print them up as 8 x 10s, assemble the albums together and Dad’s weekend job (added to his “day job” at the phone company, helped support us (6 kids).

I really MISS the smell of the chemicals. Digital just isn’t the same.

To: left that other site

I did a little darkroom stuff and kind of miss the chemicals as well.
