shot up at him as he spoke, walked, and gestured.  He got quite animated for 
the cameras.  (Some people really enjoy being photographed.)

Anyway, afterward I noticed that the film rewound too quickly.  And we all know 
what that means.  (Or is that assuming too much these days?  Have people 
forgotten?)

That was the favourite failure mode of my Praktica and drove me nuts. Eventually I decided to always waste the 1st frame by doing one extra advance to see if it was still winding. Better that than waste an entire roll.

I think I also figured out how to pop the top on the 35mm canister and re-feed the leader out when I knew this had happened. Gah! I had put that whole sour memory out of my mind ...
