Remember taking pictures with an old camera - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GOPAPA** · 01-22-2019, 09:25 AM

where you had to take the film out and send it in to get it developed ? ,,,,,,,,,,,, I took a picture of this Wheelbarrow ,,but lost it and then someone posted their photo on History site..

I seen this Wheelbarrow in Tillamook Oregon back many years ago . If you have seen Tillammok Cheese in your super market dairy section ? It is made in the same town as where this Wheelbarrow used to be.
The guy would change out the cars in the Wheelbarrow from time to time .

**The Rocknrod** · 01-22-2019, 09:58 AM

Oh ya man I we still have photo albums of our younger years. Although all my family photo albums were lost in Tempe AZ back in 68.
I scanned this pic years ago of my previous 53 with 50 doors back in like 1980 when I was a Navy recruiter in Las Vegas, NV. Got help painting it from the local car guys at Pete Findley Olds back then. People used to tell me to lower it and I just couldn't get my head around that back then.

**Boog** · 01-22-2019, 01:14 PM

Yeah. It was “a kodak moment”.

**mongocanfly** · 01-22-2019, 01:18 PM

Yep...we grew up with a Kodak 110....then on to a polaroid...with the old 110 it was a crap shoot on whether you had pics or not...

**slomotion** · 01-22-2019, 01:56 PM

I used to have a black box camera that was about a 6" cube. It had a grey shutter button on the top right corner, and a grey knob to "advance" the film. (Might have been a Brownie Hawkeye?) I would have loved to take a lot of pictures, but I had to be careful because in the 60's with two kids and a mortgage on military pay, having photos developed was close to a luxury to me. I remember 12 photo film, and 20 photo film (24?), and when you dropped them off to be developed there was always one or two that didn't come out right. Either everyone was blinking, the sun washed out the whole shot, it was a double exposure, or there was nothing at all.
Today I take photos of everything, then just delete the ones I don't want/need.

My parents rocked a Kodak Instamatic for years! It only got replaced when my Dad won a more up-to-date camera for a safety award from his work.

Some scans of the pics taken with the Instamatic...

Cool Vegas truck back in the day.

**GOPAPA** · 01-22-2019, 06:52 PM

Anyone know a
place I could get a roll of film developed that has been in the old Brownie junior 6-20

the film has been in there for over 75 years..

**3757chevy** · 01-22-2019, 07:33 PM

We used to send it to Kodak labs for developing back in the day. The 126 and 110 were also sent in. I also have some old film to develop.

**special-K** · 01-23-2019, 08:01 AM

I'm not sure where, but I am sure there is someone out there developing film. Back then I made sure I had money to put a roll of film in the camera. Once I filled it up, and you thought twice about using up a shot, I'd have to have money to get it developed,,, or by the time that was done. I don't have many pictures of the rides I've had. Don't have any of some I had. I remember people questioning why I was taking pictures of my vehicle(s) as if it was a waste of money. Many pictures I have on this site were scanned from prints.

I did the same as you Tim,,,I take photos of old pictures ..I too have only a few of my old cars and trucks,, I do have a few super 8 movies of my brand new 65 chevy truck I bought ,,although it only got in the photo because I was filming my new home I bought and was adding onto the house and tearing down one out front..

Now,, them light bulbs for that Kodak projector back then was around $20 dollars and that was high .I think they would burn out just sitting.

**Grumpy old man** · 01-23-2019, 10:11 AM

I remember taking film in and waiting days for it to be developed , Today everything is about easy and fast until the thousands of pictures in your phone or computer go PFFFT ! and they are gone . Not everything about "new technology " is better .I've lost pictures that can never be replaced . Can you even buy Polaroid instant film anymore ? . We used to be an Autotrader picture station where people would bring their car/ truck to have the picture taken for the ads in the magazine and Autotrader would send us boxes of film .

**richard2717** · 01-23-2019, 10:11 AM

I still have this one hanging on the wall in the boiler room. No idea why......just can't seem to throw it away.

.

**mongocanfly** · 01-23-2019, 10:52 AM

Gopapa..there are still a few vintage camera stores around....we have one close to us a few towns over..

100%Chevy · 01-23-2019, 10:55 AM

Towards the end of the instamatic camera era,I had a disposable camera.
When the film roll was done,you just sent the whole camera to the developer!
I still have some envelopes with negatives here somewhere!

9 years ago I ask all around the city I lived at (pop 35,000) and no camera shop knew of a place to get my old film developed ,, I gave up .

**richard2717** · 01-23-2019, 05:12 PM

CVS drug stores still advertise they can develop your 35mm film as well as 110 and others if anyone is looking

Killer Bee · 01-23-2019, 05:46 PM

took these [or my friends did of my car] with a pentax K1000 manual body and developed everything in the school lab..

was in journalism class in high school for the one major reason, girls

turned out to be a fun little skill... developing film and prints I'm talking about here

notice the hand cut edges and tape residue from the original cut n paste to fit my locker door

**special-K** · 01-24-2019, 08:47 AM

CVS developes film and I believe disposable cameras are still sold. I put all my pictures on an external drive I bought, so a young guy could fix my laptop. I looked at them once on the external drive, I know they made it there. When I went to put the pictures back in my laptop the new external drive crapped out, so still lost all my pictures. I still have all the shoe boxes full of prints from throughout my life.

**GOPAPA** · 01-24-2019, 09:28 AM

I belong to a facebook site of my old Town I graduated HS from and I am one of the historians of the town and surrounding country ..we have a museum inside the city hall .. The site has brought out many old photos of many different things from lots of people that share old photos of the days gone from our area ..

Many of the photos shared are photos that I did not take pictures of back in them roaring 60ies and now through these shared photos ,,I and others get to see again what we never thought we would see,

Just saying that this is a way you can retrieve some photo of something you lost or never had ...

I do the same thing, but don't trust them totally. What I've been doing in addition to the external drives is saving and numbering the SD Cards (by inclusive dates,) when they fill up. I buy a new SD Card instead of downloading photos to my laptop and deleting them off the camera. This way I have "that" image - it may take a long time to find it, but it's there somewhere, and not lost forever.

We have a similar site here.It's great!I know of a couple of others that do the same.All the titles begin with"Remember When".
It's combined effort as everyone seems to remember something the others forgot!
