Earlier this morning, I went to town, taking a roll of film from a disposable camera, to get it developed.
Out here in the vast prairies, in small towns, usually the local grocery store is the "drop-off" point for rolls of film, which are developed in the big city further away. It's usually a two- or three-day service, no big deal to me, because I loathe taking pictures anyway.
But because I thought it might be bad luck to have photographs of the ancient Gustav as broken, rather than after being repaired, hale and hearty again, I got another disposable camera to snap some of the better Gustav.
Fifty-four photographs in two months (each disposable camera had 27 exposures); which is about as many photographs as I've taken the past ten years. Besides pictures of the cats, this time I took pictures of the river too. I thought about snapping one of the William Rivers Pitt, but the thing indicating how many unexposed exposures were left, indicated "zero" by the time I thought of that.
Anyway.
Much to my surprise and dismay, the local grocery store no longer sends undeveloped film to the big city to be developed. I have to take them to the big city myself, which I guess I'll do tomorrow (Thursday).
Is this a dying industry? I never paid attention, so I honestly don't know.
