So you did your own development?

I was thinking about doing that for black and white film. I am just worried as I have three curious cats and they get into everything...and one will eat just about anything. Nothing like seeing pieces of plastic bags in the litter box. So I am worried about having chemicals like that in the house.

If I didn't have the cats I would for sure.

Do you do film anymore, or are you strictly a lady of the digital age?

Thanks Oksana.

There are two camera stores near me that sell and develop film, so I am quite fortunate. It is expensive, but I like the results better. Just me and my strange ways haha.

I use two film camera right now; Asahi Pentax SP500 (45 years old all manual) and Mamiya 645e medium format and I absolutely love it.

I still haven't decided on which film is my favourite, as there are good and bad points to each film stock.

My friends joke with me that I am going backwards, going from digital back to film haha.

We have a few stores where I leave luckily too. I use to shoot film a lot when I was in photo school. Different kind: from regular 35mm to 4x5 sheets. I was expensive and always same kind of surprise. We were praying every time we had to pick it up (especially 4x5). We also developed film ourself. One time I used chemicals after first year students and they obviously put a wrong liquid in a wrong bottle. My film come out all purple. Since then I had all my own chemicals, lol.
