Friendship and film

for get-pushed Caroline asked me to do a still life of something that I am grateful for

Lou Sousa, who used to frequent these parts set me up with all I needed to develop film at home, a couple of years a ago. I recently dug it all out of the cupboard to develop the films my son shot , and he is coming around today to learn how its done!

@chejja sorry this is a bit late!

[Caroline]

@kali66 Well done. Very interesting response.

[Melvina McCaw]

How wonderful to share your love of photography with your son.
Great still life perfect in B&W

[Spanner]

Ahhh film - lovely.

[sheri]

Interesting. I haven't ever done this.

[kali]

@spanner has it been a while for you too? Now that i have cracked open these bottles i really should shoot some of the 3 cameras i have film sitting in!

[Taffy]

I took a course in the late 1970s that involved darkroom work -- I really liked how time just disappears when processing photos. Not quite the same as using the computer.

[Dustyloup]

What a lovely tradition to pass on!

[Yao RL]

wow, this is serious.

[haskar]

Lovely

[Spanner]

@kali66 Yes - it has been too long. Photography in general has been neglected. Look forward to seeing some of your results.

Interesting still life. I don't recognize anything but the roll of film.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Ah, those were the days!

[Lisa Poland]

Wow, this brings back memories. I still have some developing tray that haven't been used since 1992. They still smell like developer! LOL!

[kali]

@homeschoolmom the smell is pretty enduring!

[summerfield]

do you want some films? i have a couple here that i always meant to use but never did. it's in my fridge. i can send them to you. do you think it wise?

[kali]

@summerfield I would love that, (the postage would cost more than the films!!) i have had film sent to me by Lou from the states so it is do-able :)

Good to see! Much more satisfying to see and touch than the digital equivalent. Fav
