      Just last month I scanned all of my 35mm negatives into the PC and then tossed them. I had a whole shoebox of them. Insane. But now I don't have to worry about them degrading over time any more or losing them in a flood or fire.

      But I miss film cameras. Opening that fresh roll, lining it up & getting it loaded. Taking it to the drugstore & filling out those envelopes. Then going back in 2 days to pick them up and then sitting in the car going through all the pics. Was like opening a great Christmas present every time. The thrill is gone.

      Plus, film canisters made great places to keep a bud or two.

      I remember the guys who took photography in high school. The actual developing was an art form. Plus they would always spark up in the dark room cause no one could turn on the light to see who did it. Pot smoke always wafted out of that area. What a great time. One friend I know actually fucked a girl during school in the dark room.

      “Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”

            This is a bit clever.
