Day 295

I don't know why I don't take more photos in black and white, I think it looks better than color, at least most of he time it does. Back in the day I only used to do black and white. Black and white was the type of film you could develop your self, in you home darkroom, or in my case the downstairs bathroom. I kind of miss those simple times where you took a roll of film and then in the pitch black tried to get it on a metal reel with out ripping it or bending it or wrinkling it, then get it into a little can put the top on and pour the developer in it. It was fun! Then you could print your own black and white photos which was like magic watching the image appear on the paper in the tray. I will confess I loved it, the smelly chemicals that stained your clothes, the nerves waiting to see if anything comes out on the film, wondering if any of the photos are any good, or in focus...I miss the good old days.
