Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for July 12, 2013

Thanks for the help with the questions!“Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away…” Who said that?

Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day, oh yeah…..Paul Simon

And now not only has Mama taken Kodachrome away altogether, but also Kodak’s getting pretty gone as well.

As far as I know, Polaroid is also gone, and someone has taken the name to sell cheap tablets.

does anyone actually develop film anymore? I hate to say it but most of my photos are on my digital camera or my phone. I miss pictures I could hold and pass around BUT I don’t miss the nice photos that turn that awful yellow/brown after a few years.

My children still took phog. classes in HS. When I was in HS, I had no camera (might borrow my dad’s) and I switched from typing (on a machine that took monumental strength to lift those keys to strike the paper with force for the carbons) to drafting (which was all done by hand). Things just keep a-changing!

I bought the CD a few weeks ago. Good one.

I still have a 35 mm roll that needs developed. I better get on that while it can still be done.

We just moved and in going thru stuff, I found some flash cubes – no camera for them though. BTW – I have a Polaroid brand TV.

I am creeping into the technical age – slowly and backwards. My cell phone is so it has a rotary dial, but I do have a digital camera, and can print out “hard copies” of shots I want to frame. Downloading photos to email to friends is so much easier than using snail mail.
