My teenage artsy-fartsy niece is into photography. She was expressing an interest in film photography (image that) and I dug out my film camera outfit. I was always the family photographer and there are some nature shots I am really proud. But I noticed that I was in none of the shots and instead of enjoying our vacations I was recording it. So the cameras were relegated to the closet.

Both bodies and lenses were in great shape. I installed new batteries and bought her some 400 speed film which was all I could find. Her teacher has been helping her and she has gotten over the intimidation of working with film. I sent her the link to "One Year With Film Only." I think she will learn a lot from it.
