I never had my own camera as a child, but I had access to whatever my mom happened to be carrying around. At 9 or 10 the Kodak disc camera went with me on school field trips. I never liked her 110 cameras. Dad wouldn't let me have the K1000 - "too complicated, you might break it". Ha! But it's mine now, Dad! This just brought back something I thought I'd forgotten. Mom would always find somewhere dark to change film, even if it was 110 or disc. We spent a lot of time on tour buses in Europe and she'd go to the restroom to swap film. I've never asked her why, but I'm going to. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
