The irony of this photo is not lost on me.

The irony of this photo is not lost on me.

A bright spot on this visit, I found my old camera! I was convinced it had been thrown away! I loved this camera when I was younger. The polarizing filter is scratched and the battery is dead, but other than that she is in fine condition. I’d been using my Canon Rebel to take pictures in the cavern, ever since most of the KI’s functionality went offline.

My old Nikon 4004 35mm. My pride and joy. I bought it myself when I was 15. I even had Father convert one of the unused bedrooms into a darkroom. Everyone transitioned to digital long ago, but I still enjoy the comforts of working with physical film.

A shame I don’t have the necessary supplies or time to convert somewhere in the cavern into a darkroom, and I definitely can’t get pictures of the Cavern or other Ages developed at the local chemists!

Still, I wonder if I can still get film for her! What a wonderful surprise!
