One time I shot a large group of kids. They went home. I hadn't put any film in the damn fricking camera. I just about passed out. I was able to get all the kids back except one, and I lied and said the camera had malfunctioned. Now you know how evil I am.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-76636141042381459152013-05-04T14:18:28.617-05:002013-05-04T14:18:28.617-05:00I love PhotoShop.

I was a keen amateur (did some wedding photography for a while) and loved the surprise/creative element. It's all too easy now to take a rubbish picture and fiddle about with it on the internet until it looks great! I still take photos with my little digi-camera but don't have the same interest.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-48102485560014214402013-05-04T11:10:47.335-05:002013-05-04T11:10:47.335-05:00Yes I agree it's come a long way but think how...Yes I agree it's come a long way but think how many jobs were lost on account of it.<br />I look at this little iphone and think my God!!<br />What doesn't it do and how many factories will close now because of it.

And I actually learned alot from the mistakes I made on the bad ones...for the next shoot. But then, I'm a traditionalist...loved film and the darkroom. Took me a while to change over to digital but as we all know, change is important and must be done in order to compete in this fast paced world we live in. (now I cannot imagine NOT shooting digitally) but man, oh man.....I remember those parking lots rituals with a smile.<br />Thanks for taking me back there for just a bit this evening!<br />jmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455394380447484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-82022339460632698802013-05-03T21:55:13.462-05:002013-05-03T21:55:13.462-05:00The one fun thing about film is finding a roll tha...The one fun thing about film is finding a roll that got forgotten and then developing them to see what was captured...then being surprised by the prints...other than that, I'm really happy that digital is here and I can delete the ones where I look fat...usually that leaves only pics of other people! Your post reminded me of my Dad because he had a darkroom where he developed his own photos...he loved gadgets and he loved photography. He would be so excited to use a cool digital camera!

And those chemicals were pretty marly, thank God for automatic processors.
