Sing for the cameras, sing for the animals

[sovay]

Partly this is an excuse to show off my new icon, which I thieved from chomiji. I am also unrelatedly pleased that I found my camera in a filing cabinet: it has been AWOL for years and last seems to have been used when I was in Italy, England, and Ireland in 2004. (It is not a digital camera. I got it in 1999, the first time I went to Europe; I am not a good photographer, but I am very fond of it. I wonder if I can still get it black-and-white film?) But mostly I am pointing to Not One of Us #39, which is finally available from The Genre Mall! Check it out for yourself. It is good stuff.

I think it's so amazing that that turned up. What are the odds? Pretty cool.

So... will you maybe post photos?

If I can get them on CD from the developer? This is an old-fashioned camera!

CVS will give you a CD.

There are also such things as scanners.
And yes, one can still get B&W film. Assorted (other?) photography boffins use it.
(OK, this comment is coming out WAY too sarky. Anyway, congratulations!)

(The sarkiness is offset by the points you win for using the term "boffin." Thanks!)

Sarky = variant on snarky?

Or Scots calque of "shirty"? ;-)

Yay, you found it!

And there was still a roll of 35 mm in the camera bag!

The "light in the attic" is very sexy.

The possibilities for interesting conversation are otherwise rather limited.

Glad you've found your camera. Hopefully we'll see some of the shots here at some point?

I'm sure you can still get b&w, although I'd expect you'd need a proper camera shop to find it in. Do you generally shoot with it?

And the icon's very nice.

I shall see what I can do!

No. But I always wanted to experiment and see how it worked; I love black and white photographs.

Excellent.

It's a lot of fun. I used to shoot it fairly often with the SLR--used to run it through the point&shoot sometimes, but not as often.
