Hello Kurt!

I saw this t-shirt and it reminded me of you.

Heh! Reminded me of seeing that sign at Fotomat booths!

There are a couple of Fotomat buildings (if you could call them that)
in San Francisco surviving to this day as drive-through espresso stands.

That's what I was thinking of also.

I remember in "Police Academy" how those hooligans put that Fotomat on a flatbed truck and dump it in the river....

I do admit that i still prefer film over digital as film has more warmth to
it IMNSHO.

Fujifilm is building color presets into their cameras to emulate Fuji film emulsions. Interesting results.

I liked Fuji Reala 100, shot it whenever I could afford it - damn fine grain, great color. Most of my photography was on their cheaper 100 film; I was shooting street photography with a LOMO LC-A, and wanted the tightest grain and best color, and didn't care about motion blur.

I wish processing wasn't so expensive, I'd love to shoot more film.

I used to use a Kodak 110 Instamatic. Film was cheap and it shot good
pictures for what it was. In fact, I think I may still have that camera somewhere.

I'll set up a darkroom in my bathtub. I still remember how to develop film. My local Walgreens still has a photo lab but no clue what their prices are
and I bet they will only process 35mm film.

My birth father has a Canon AE-1 I want badly.

When I started using a 35MM Camera the slide film available was Kodachrome ASA 10.
I later tried Etkachrome ASA 32 and liked the blue tint in my images over the yellow tint Kodachrome has.

I also read that Panatomic-X could be processed as positives to make B&W slides using the Kodak Direct Positive chemicals set.

Haven't shot Film in a long time.
I like using a Digital Camera.
I can put the SD Card in a USB Adapter and print it even edit it if I want to. Ed
