*licks @Leucrotta*

(can't remember if I mentioned it already but) we got a cheapo film point-and-shoot trash camera! :3

(because I'm scared of banging up our real camera again...)

and today we got film for it

ye gods film is expensive.

@frost No, this is new to me! Found a place that might process actual film yet?

@Leucrotta Yeah, there's lots of places actually! Montclair Photo (where I got my me art printed :3) does film, and Mike's Camera over in Dublin does film, and apparently Looking Glass Photo (where we bought the film) ALSO has a film development place next door but we'll probably switch to going to Mike's to buy film instead anyway.

Also while comparison shopping found a place somewhere in Oakland called Underdog Film Lab, developing film is all they do, and they're slightly cheaper – $8 a roll instead of $10. (But they still charge $20 for develop+scan like everyone else.)

@Leucrotta Here's the camera! Got it at Target, list price was $35 (WTF??? it's cheap plastic), but it was on sale for $10. I think they're in the process of discontinuing them, Emeryville was out of stock but we lucked out at Bayfair.

@Leucrotta That switch on the front controls the flash. Annoyingly it only shuts off the /recharge/, so when you turn it off, the next shot will still have flash.

@Leucrotta Oh and here's what the inside looks like.

I can still hardly believe ths thing is an /actual functioning camera./ There's like nothing in it!
