freethefly 6 #139 October 31, 2007 I have my old Bell & Howell 220 8mm movie camera that I used years ago at the Fresno dragstrip in 69-71. It still has unexposed film in it. I wonder what is on the exposed portion? It hasn't been used in more than 30 years. Hmmmm then there is my 1959 Polaroid land camera that I have used in the past 10 years. Not to mention my Burke and James enlarger. All relics of the past. My Pentax K10D will be here come the 5th. All my film cameras, including the 645 are now mere conversation pieces. Would anyone of a place that still develope 8mm film?"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

masterrig 1 #148 October 31, 2007 Quote Quote We had party lines when I was a kid. I'll bet a bunch of you don't even know that that is. My parents actually had a party line when I was a kid up until I was about old enought to use the phone we shared our phone with about three of the neighbors. I also remember getting in a fight over TV shows with my brother or sister one night I ran up to change the channel one time and upon returning I missed the chair I was sitting in and busted my head on the corner of the coffee table (that's still in my parents family room in exactly the same place) My mother was consoling me and noticed blood on her hand from my busted head and they took me to the ER... I was about 5 or so and was in Kindergarten. We had a party line too, when I was a kid. Ours was 2-rings. I remember hearing stories about one or two neighbor ladies picking-up at the same time so they could maybe, get some good gossip!I have that ring-toneon my cell phone.Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
