About a year ago I decided to try film photography and fell in love with it. I especially enjoy working in the darkroom, which I do not have one of my own. When my friends heard how much I was enjoying it they started sending me their old 35mm cameras. The reason was always "you can't get film anymore, so if you like it you can have it". I don't know what they think I use... So, these images I'm posting today are from a 45 year old Canon that had not been used and was kept, maybe, in a closet. It has some issues. The seals are dried and the mirror appears to stick causing a reflection in some of the images, however I find some of the funkiness is interesting. Out of 36 exposures I salvaged 4. Not bad.
