When I was in college, I took a photojournalism class. Each of us was assigned a Pentax K-1000 single-lens reflex camera to use during the term. It was a bit
There were several cameras around the house when I was growing up, most notably an Argus C3 rangefinder that belonged to my father. His mother had been fascinated with photography and would always have her Kodak box camera; as a result, we have a wealth of family photos from that side of the family.
I came across a few of them recently. They didn’t hold up well. Most are hard to make out. There’s an image of a Corvette in the intersection of Main and Oates streets, a couple of our family dog, Poochie, and one that appears to be Daffodil, a neighbor’s dog. I’m assuming it’s Daffodil because the dog in the photograph is barking at me. Daffy was always barking at me.
Once it all fell into place, I began to enjoy taking photographs. I sold my bicycle and bought a Nikon and shot a million rolls of film. When I got a job as a newspaper photographer, I shot a million more. Much of the film I used outside of work was color negative film and the occasional roll of Kodachrome slide film, but I loved black-and-white images. Much of my personal black-and-white film was developed by Frank Gaines.
It leads me to wonder about how we’ll chronicle images in the future. I still have film equipment but haven’t used it in years. Film is nearly impossible to find, and developers are scarce. Like most everyone else, I take photographs with my cell phone, and those images are to Polaroid black-and-whites what a Maserati is to Fred Flintstone’s yabba-dabba-do-mobile.
