The grandkids are playing around with my old Pentax ME film camera.

It’s a great opportunity to explain how cameras work. Open the back to see the shutter open. Take off the lens to see the mirror flip away.

“But how do you see the pictures?”.

I explained the process of taking up to 24 photos, rewinding the film, sending it to the chemist, they send it to the lab, wait a week, find out everyone was blinking.

Quote of the week: “wait… you had to pay to take pictures…???”
