Opening a Film Time Capsule

Back in the day, sick I used a film camera. I thought about that old friend today. While updating picture frames in my oldest daughter’s room, store we came across a Film Time Capsule. Underneath the existing photo was a handful of photographic treasures I had left behind.

All straight out of that trusted Canon camera with No Photoshop or Cropping. Here are the scans.

I forgot she was ever this age. That sweet tender face playing in bubbles, baking with my mom, raking leaves and playing at the beach seems so long ago.

She was 4 years old and soon after these photos her baby brother, swiftly followed by her baby sister came along. Being overwhelmed, the fancy film camera went into hibernation.

Although, I do remember how I took photos with film. I was slower, savoring each exposure on that 36 roll of film. Oh, and the excitement of picking up a developed roll to see what you captured. Did I get those settings right? Those were the days.

I can’t believe early motherhood made me put down my fancy camera. Wait, yes I can. Anyways, I hope you have a Film Time Capsule tucked away to cherish someday too.

If you are asking how did I get my photographic groove on, years later in 2010? With a new Digital Canon Camera to boot?  It wasn’t easy. You can read about that over here at Project 365 Mission Accomplished, That is, if you have the time.
