I'm so glad I've inspired you to take out your old cameras!<BR/><BR/>Sally, Ebay is often a decent source for old film, but so are vendors like The Frugal Photographer or Freestyle Photo in Los Angeles. Google tells me that your camera takes 126 film, which the <A HREF="http://www.frugalphotographer.com/cat126.htm" REL="nofollow">Frugal Photographer</A> sells. You might have a hard time finding someone to process that film, but if you poke around, there are a bunch of mail-order film processing places that will probably be able to handle it. I can also plug some groups on Flickr - like the <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/groups/vintagecameras/" REL="nofollow">Vintage Camera Photography group</A> - as being full of knowledgeable folks who know their old cameras much much better than I!<BR/><BR/>Rebecca<BR/><A HREF="http://senseofface.com" REL="nofollow">sense of face</A>rebecca annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07276928025619791811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-16186107586660025502008-11-10T14:06:00.000-08:002008-11-10T14:06:00.000-08:00REBECCA, <BR/><BR/>Your love for family and for old photographs and for old cameras is most evident in this beautiful article. <BR/><BR/>And you've inspired me to dig out the four or five decades-old rolls of film exposed gosh only knows when or where and see what images from the past appear. [Does everyone have rolls of exposed undeveloped film lying about --- it seems to be universal!]<BR/><BR/>Thanks for contributing such a well written and thought provoking article.<BR/><BR/>And MAVEN,thanks for presenting such talent!<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Terry Thornton<BR/>Fulton, MississippiTerry Thorntonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-64728647891125849722008-11-10T13:58:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:58:00.000-08:00<I>"The memory-making tools of the past are very different from those to which we’ve grown accustomed in the last 10 or 20 years."</I> <BR/><BR/>Rebecca, that is so very true. Your project is marvelous, and my geeky friends who got an email from me with a link to your post loved it, too. I'm still blown away that you found and developed an unfinished roll of film with a long forgotten photo of your grandma. <BR/><BR/>One quick question... <BR/><BR/>How on earth do you find the correct film for a vintage camera? There's one of <A HREF="http://i3.iofferphoto.com/img/1102233600/_i/4698275/1.jpg" REL="nofollow">these babies</A> headed my way, but I can't take any photos until I track down some film. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>-Sally J.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.practicalarchivist.com" REL="nofollow">The Practical Archivist</A>Sally J.http://www.practicalarchivist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-76314149421803555112008-11-10T13:40:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:40:00.000-08:00Rebecca -- I love your article. What a wonderful way to start the week with an inspiration to dig out my old cameras and give them another run. <BR/><BR/>The notion of "artifactual traces of the process of picture taking – blurs, halos, scratches and distortions that can turn the most modern scene into something magical and unstuck in time" is especially enticing.<BR/><BR/>I'll be looking for more "new" vintage photos at your blog.<BR/><BR/>DeniseDenise Levenick, The Family Curatorwww.familycurator.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
