Early July street scenes from 35-mm film

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, July 18, 2017

Here are Ken Collins photos of early July scenes in Ada taken with 35-mm film, you know, the old fashioned camera with Real Film that you have to get printed or have a darkroom of your own. Nearly everyone has a camera with them nowadays since nearly everyone has a cell phone or computer tablet. Most cameras that require film are stored away in a drawer gathering dust...waiting for the time they qualify for entry into a museum.
