Remember Getting Photos Developed?
I've been scanning old photos (as I'm sure you can tell) and it occurred to me to scan the envelope some of the pictures were in. Do you remember the old days when you sent in your film in a mailer and a week or two later you got them back? A WEEK OR TWO!!
I grew up in the sticks, so city folk probably had this earlier but eventually we were able to take our film to the local drug store and drop it off and A WEEK LATER we'd get the pictures back. Eventually this was cut down to a few days and we felt like the Jetsons.
I think kids today have a harder time than we did, so I don't fault them for missing out on this whole process, but I do think we learned a hard lesson from the days of snail-mail film developing- we'd send in a roll of film thinking we had bunches of great pictures on there and ended up with blurry shots or the flash didn't work or whatever. I learned both patience and disappointment while my films were being processed!
