I remember having to take my film to Kmart and having to fill out the envelope with my info and wait three days for it to be developed
Yes! Having to get the film processed! Always wanted doubles, but then you really hoped you had enough pictures that were worth developing!
Yes- always get doubles!
Waiting was so hard! And I could never even remember what half of them were u til I got them back! The only instant photos we had were Polaroids and you still had to work for them 😂
yes, my SR year of high school my chorus music program went to NY to compete in a comption and we also got to pick a broadway show, I took an older camera and it decieded to keep rolling the film and wouldn’t stop and not thinking I tried to open it and exposed it and lost all my pictures, the sadest thing was it was the yr 2000 and I got pictures of the twin towers when we were coming into the city!
I don’t remember ever getting a free booklet, but I remember going to Walmart with my aunt and sorting through all the pictures. We would pick out the bad ones for credit and laugh at our mediocre photography skills. I was always excited to be the first to see all the pictures before anyone in my family could.
Omg yes I remember taking film to the store. I Still have pictures in the free photo books they gave out.
Yes! I remember having to wait to get them developed!
Yes! I remember looking through them to take out the bad ones to give back for a credit.
Yes! I remember having to wait to finish a roll before being able to even go to get them developed, then waiting for them to get developed, then looking through the set and hoping they came out good!
Remember dropping film off back then
Yes, I remember taking my film to cvs to get processed
I remember FotoMat the drive up for your pictures.. SO expensive and you always got 2 copies of each pic as it was a deal! The quality was not the best and digital is so much better. How times have changed for sure! I need a new printer mine is about 14 years old and just bit the dust!. Updating my computer as well…
the best was waiting on pictures from an important event and getting the roll developed and finding out you had some lovely shots of your thumb LOL
I loved going to pick up pictures from the photo kiosk in the parking lot of KMart. The multi day wait after dropping off film seemed to go on forever.
Yes! The waiting was the worse! Especially when you go on a trip and cant wait to show people!
Ah the anticipation and hoping you’d have a few good ones and not knowing if you should be embarrassed when facing the photo tech hahaha
I remember those days.. it was always the anticipation of whether you would get a full roll of pics back or 2 lol and also if any overlapped with other pics to create some bizarre keepsake lol
For sure you never knew what you were going to get.
I would alway get excited for any type of family photos from the store!
The new printers are great
I remember going to pick up pictures from Walmart with my Grandma. I loved playing with the black canisters.
To be honest I cant remember if I had taken my film to the store but I do remember throwing the film away becausew I didn’t know what to do with them.
Yes, and even when you had bad pictures, you never wanted to throw them away because you paid good money for them.
Yes, I remember that. It was exciting
yes, thats why i have physical pictures of my daughter but none of my other kids lol
Yes I remember and don’t miss it at all
Wow that’s a longtime ago but I do remember getting film developed.
Yes, I remember having to get films developed and being so excited to pick them up once they were ready.
Yes. I remember waiting to pick up my pictures at store.
I will luv to have this.
Oh yes!
Yes playing the waiting game!
Lordy yes, and double prints were fun! Crossing fingers in hopes that half of the 24 pics were good.
Yes. I remember taking it to the store for developing. Then you had to remember to pick it up. Lol
Yes and I wish I had something that would force me to print photos for my kids and my family. I’m just overwhelmed with the task of looking through soooo many photos. I have an empty collage frame that was supposed to be a gift 2 Christmas’ ago!!
of course. I would finally get the pictures back and half would be black or blurred. lol
Yes I for sure remember old school film I’m old 😂
I definitely would get super excited and loved reliving the memories through the photos! 🙂
Yup! And the printed preview page!! I remember getting one with all grey photos and crying once lol!!
Absolutely remember getting film developed…
I absolutely loved getting my photo book and got super excited 🙂
I definitely remember getting super excited about it and reliving all the memories!
Real film…those were the days..
Yes! I found a shoebox in my storage that still has several undeveloped rolls of film, and I need to find out where I can HOPEFULLY get them developed!! I am hoping some or all of them will still be good, and that there are pictures of my parents on them, since they both have passed, now.
I never got a picture book for my photos. I did more mailing mine than going to the store. Mailing was cheaper then.
I used to work at CVS developing film rolls and I loved when I finished a roll of film so I could bring it to work to develop the pictures!
I dont necessarily remember the photo booklet but I do remember having to wait and get excited for your pictures to be developed.
I remember having to go and develope pictures. By the time I was developing them myself we didn’t get the book anymore like my mom used to get. I actually miss it a little because I do not print as many pictures.
It was exciting, but could also be disappointing when most of your pictures came back blurry/too far away/too dark!
Yes & always got double prints so I could give friends/others a copy!
Need a printer!
wow do I remember taking my film to Walmart and waiting until they came back to see how they turned out, some good and some were not.
I actually miss the old pictures. I feel now I don’t have a lot of pictures in print because they are all loaded into my phone. I have definitely started to get those printed slowly
Yes, couldn’t wait to see the results. Always ordered doubles!!!
YES! I remember doing that! I remember taking up an entire roll of 110 film and only having 3 photos come out presentable! Lots of waste back then.
I am a 90’s kid and remember bringing my film camera on the last day of school to get pictures of my class…where are these roll of film now you ask? I have no idea! probably in my mom’s camera drawer lol
Yes! No way to know if your pictures turned ok or where blurry.
I could really use a printer
I do remember — and also remember the cost!
I remember but I like it better today being able to see what they look like right away. Being able to erase and start all over if they are awful lol.
Omg, yes. It was a drive up booth and the people that worked, they always seemed to know everything about everyone. I wonder, how?? Lol
Yes I remember and now we are trying to scan and digitalize those old photographs for safe keeping.
I don’t remember the picture books. I remember sorting through the bin to find our packet of pictures, which in hindsight seems like a bad way for the stores to have them available!! Anyone could have taken the pictures of our vacation, and we would have had to retaliate and take some other poor kids birthday photos!!
Yes I remember taking my film in
Yes I do and actually still have one of those cameras on hand. Was always exciting to pick them up but sure love the digital so I know which ones are good before I print them.
I remember that yes! Right now I’m slacking on printing out my son’s pictures! I hate that it’s all stored in my phone and computer I just want to print it out right away, back then u had no choice if u want to see how those pictures looked! Which is all part of the fun of taking pictures!
I remember having to go to the store to develop the rolls of film but not the free booklet
Oh, yes. The excitement then half the pictures were terrible. I still have some disposable cameras I need developed. Lol. I’m scared as to what’s on them though.
Yes I remember. I used to develop my own pics in photography class in HS.
Yes! and having half the roll being shots of the floor or inside my purse haha
My earliest memory involving photos is the black and white pictures of the Polaroid camera that you had to pull out of camera, tuck under your arm for several minutes and then peel the back paper off and then cover picture with gel from a tool that you slid across the picture with.
Some of my favorite photography memories are taking film to the local quality photo processing store and then looking through the finished product with the store owner trying to decide if any of the photos were worth enlarging and framing.
I loved taking film in but I also was a photo nerd and loved to develop in the darkroom myself it’s such an experience. How many kids from future generations are going to even know what a dark room is? Lol
Yes I remember. Things are so different and better now with film and pictures!
We are so spoiled now with all of the options we have when taking pictures. I don’t like to wait for my photos so I used to pay the extra money to do the one hour photos at the mall kiosks. It was so frustrating not being able to see the pictures instantly!
Yes, I remember. I wouldn’t leave the store before looking at all of them. I also remember going to a Kodak kiosk in a parking to pick them up.
I remember having so many rolls and if a picture didn’t come out right you still had to pay for it.
Absolutely! I remember the fun of disposable cameras. Those were my jam in high school!
Disposable cameras and everyone’s eyes being closed in the pics!
I definitely remember taking film to get developed. And recently came across 4 rolls with no idea what is on them! It’s like a mystery in a tiny black tube!
Yes I remember those days. I remember filling out the bags putting the film roll in the bag and then dropping them in the slot of the box at the grocery store and then waiting a week to see if they turned out ok. Many times it was disappointing. Remember the disposable cameras that you would put the whole thing in the development bag. There were some neat pictures that may not be doable today though they usually happened by accident, like a double exposure. Now we get to retake immediately if the picture isn’t perfect. Now the anticipation time is much shorter but most of the pictures say on the phone. Need to have prints in hand.
I remember taking in film – eek! Seems like ages ago! A few years ago, I bought a disposable underwater camera – and it was SO hard to find anyone who would develop it!!
I remember taking roll of film to store
I barely remember getting photos developed
Yes, I remember. I couldn’t wait to get the pictures back to see what they looked like.
Yes i remember!
What I remember was the excitement of looking through the pictures once they printed. And the confusion upon finding a roll of film and not remembering where it came from. Those could be scary sometimes 😉
Memories…my kids can’t believe what you had to do to get pictures. They just upload them to social media and they are done.
OH my I remember filling out the forms and dropping of film! Then I remember when they got the film you just could drop in!
Oh, I remember taking pictures to be developed. You took at least 2 shots of anything special, in case 1st one didn’t turn out. So you were paying double for almost identical shots. Don’t remember the picture booklets.
I remember many drugstores typically had photo departments where you would drop off a roll of film and pick it up a few days later, then one hour development was the new thing. Now, it’s rare to see the photo centers and, if they have them, they’re more digital based processing.
Yes I remember taking my film to be developed. The anticipation of going back and opening that envelope and not knowing what your pics would look like. No do overs!!
I always mailed my film in and but was so excited to get that envelope back
Oh how I remember those days!
I remember dropping off the film and waiting for them to be ready to pickup. It was always exciting to see the finished pics.
Always mailed my film in and was so excited to get that envelope back in the mail with prints
Always so exciting waiting to see which pictures would develop and which memories were lost 🙁 Never did get any free picture books though.
I never got a free picture booklet! That would have been cool. I just remember using cameras and having no idea how any of the pics would look (or what was on each camera) until we got the pics developed and picked them up. I remember when 1 hour developing became a big rage because it took so much less time.
I remember , I found a roll of 110 film am wondering what pictures are on them , and do they still develop film ?…
Yes 🤔 I probably still have film that needs to be developed 🤣
I totally remember that and I am so thankful for digital pictures and the printers that can give us our photos minutes after taking them!
Yes I remember the good old days!
Yes, the good old days of waiting for your prints and giving back the ones that did not come out.
I took my film to Walgreens. I remember the Kodak Disk camera coming out. I thought is was the greatest invention ever…Lol, I didn’t have to deal with the film anymore.
Always took our film to BJ’s for processing back in the day.
I do remember the photo book, I also remember getting negatives for reprints. We use to drop our film off at little photo huts located in shopping plaza’s
I can remember back when when I used to bring my role of pictures in to be developed, they gave me a free booklet but gosh that was so long ago 😄 and they lost my last set of pictures. Or maybe the guy that was doing my pictures took them 😉
WOW! its so weird your giving one of these away, mine just isn’t working well. Thanks for this chance.
@tisonlyme143
yes i do remember taking pictures in to get them developed now those were the days
I used to take my rolls of film to Kmart to get developed. I always bought double prints for .99 more.
I remember taking the film to the tiny freestanding hut in the mall parking lot and being so excited to see the pictures.
Oh my goodness, yes! I worked at a pharmacy so I had to fill out all those envelopes for the customers. I remember people looking at their pictures at the counter.
Yes, I remember doing this. This was the true “selfie” generation. I remember turning the camera and trying to aim it just right to get that “selfie” and then waiting to get it developed to see if we got it or just the top of our head.
Yes, I surely remember doing it and hoping all of them comes out good.
Sadly I do remember sometimes change is a very good thing!
yes, I remember doing that.
Yes, I absolutely remember sending in those disposable cameras and waiting with fingers crossed that all of the pictures would come out looking perfect. Sometimes a large number of the pictures did not come out good or not at all. Imagine the total disappointment. Then mailing in rolls of film to get back the same. Mailed a roll once to only get one picture back that you could barely see. Never ordered a book which was a good thing. I would have received a book of nothing.
Yes! I remember the last time I did this was at Costco. Way cheaper than my CVS. 🙂
Oh my yes. I remember taking them in. Once when I was 10 I took TONS of images from a airplane. Well, they were of clouds and such and apparently with roll film they did not turn out. Seven days later when I went to pick them up out of the 24 I got back 2.
I was 10 and so disappointed.
Never ordered a book with roll film always did single pictures only. When 1 hour photo came out there was a pure game changer!
I totally remember taking so many pictures and waiting only to find out they were all terrible
I remember filling out the envelope with my mom. Had to write our info a million times
Those were the days. Had to finish a roll, and then wait at least several hours if not days for developing to know how your photo came out. But once done, I knew where the photos were when I wanted them. LOL I’m not as good at organizing them on the cloud.
I remember going to pick up pictures from film. My friend at the time would actually get refunds of a nickel each for pictures that didn’t turn out well.
I remember having to drop the film off but don’t remember the picture booklet. It was always exciting and a little nerve-wracking hoping your pics turned out the way you hoped
I use to love going to my local pharmacy to get my pictures printed and always waiting for them it was very exciting 🤣
I remember the stress of only one chance at a good photo!
One of the early jobs my husband had was working at a film lab in a store, processing and printing photos. We have quite a few cameras that use real film but we hardly ever use them.
I remember getting the photo books and running to have film developed when a free double print offer came up. I can also remember when I was young going to the Fotomat drive-through kiosks located in shopping center parking lots in the 1970’s. We were always excited to pick up the pictures to see what was on the film. I just recently came across a roll which probably has nothing on it LOL
Yes I do remember, and I still have rolls of film I need to have developed. If I ever bring them in to be developed Im sure I’ll be surprised at what I find.
Read this to the end…….My grandfather purchased prepaid mailer envelopes before he went on the trip of a lifetime to Germany to visit my cousin in the military. He mailed in the film rolls as soon as he took them out of the camera and reloaded. He died while on the trip (in his 90’s!)So we got photos in the mail after his passing .smiling on the little river boats, in the beer gardens, with my cousins, in fabulous European gardens, in Village squares. What a joy to see the happy photos of my grandfather as he enjoyed the last great adventure of his life.
Barely but I do! Maybe because we weren’t so picky back then but I feel like pictures always came out good or maybe it’s because you had to be happy with what you got!
I remember having to drop my fill off or the whole camera off to develop the photos! Still have a great aunt that uses disposable cameras
Oh boy, admitting that I DO remember taking film in to a store to drop off for developing really admits my age. I remember the excitement of going back to pick them up, sometimes pure joy at the memories and sometimes pure disappointment seeing the photos were terrible or so blurry they were unrecognizable.
I never took mine in anywhere. I actually use to send mine in the mail. Wish they still did that.
I remember dropping the film off when I got around to it so it was always a surprise when the pics were ready.
Yes I remembered I hated waiting and when we got them back only half where good
Yes, I remember those time 😩
yes, loved waiting on film to be developed
Oh yeah, it was a big deal when photos were ready to be picked up!
Definitely! I used to work at Walgreens, and would even develop them, too…I loved it!
I remember also
Buying the films!
12 pictures
24 pictures
Was so frustrating when we wanted
to take more and it was the last
Pictures on the film!
Yes! I remember!
I still have
Some pictures
From back then!
Lol I do remember
Some place would take
One week to get the
Pictures ready! 😂
Do you remember the old
Cameras too! 😂😍
I remember when i was little waiting for film with my mom!
I totally remember that! I was a kid and totally thrilled by it lol. Now I feel super old!
Haha, yes!
Lol, I absolutely remember those days and still have some pics in the little booklets 😂
The good old days.
Yes, the anticipation was nerve racking. I remember one time all by pictures were black the roll had been ruined. I was so upset. Those were the days.
Yes – seems so long ago!
Yes I do remember taking the to your nearest drug store to have them developed only to find that some of the pictures were blurring because you just remembered you dropped at some point 😬😂
Yes I remember! Only to have 10 pictures of the same thing because you wanted to make sure you got a good picture of it!
Of course I remember taking film rolls to the store to be developed and how we’d always go to one of those one hour places and get super excited when they were ready.
Back in the day the camera with the big flash cube that you had to buy . Trying to take a picture to find out after waiting all those days that you ended up with half the pictures of the same thing and they were so far away couldn’t see the people. Collecting all the negatives just in case you wanted more than the doubles you ordered that were a waste of money. Oh, opening a drawer to find a random film case that wasn’t developed and the anticipation waiting days to get developed.
I sure do!!!!!!
Yes! Waiting to pick up your pictures only to fund out that none of them were any good!
I totally remember the suspense! I also remember having to run back inside the house to grab the camera when heading to any family event. I’m glad it’s so easy to take and share pictures now.
I hated the wait for the photos and the waste of developing many bad photos
Waiting was the worst – sometimes it was a surprise because you had forgotten what was on the film!
I do! I used to love the suspense of getting those pictures back to see if any of them were any good lol
Yup, I sure do remember that. We really have come a long ways from printed photos to digital photos. Once we get them developed the first thing we do is check if we have any good pictures!! 😂😂😂
If only our children knew the long wait for pictures only to get them an your finger is partly in the way ugh… or picking up 1 set of pictures and told you have another no idea you had pictures it was like Christmas lol
Yes, and also remember the “in by time” and “out by time” a few days later. One of the best film developing deals was BJs, with good prices and large pictures — always got double sets with each order.
Oh I remember. You never knew if you had a good pic or not. You had to wait several days to pick them up. Then there was the mail in envelopes. Cheaper but took about a week to get them back.
It was so exciting to see what came out when you developed film. I miss having a tangible picture to instantly frame.
I really enjoyed the days of film pictures….so much nicer to have that picture book in my hand!!
Yes, I do, but I really wish I carried a camera around a lot more back then, like I do now, having a phone to do it. Go figure.
I remember putting my film from the opening of Orlando Disneyworld into the envelope & mailing it…never received my pictures.They lost them.That was the last time I used mail film service!
Yes, I remember those booklets and I still have them!
i TOTALLY remember the photo freebies that came along with in-store prints. 😂 Blast from the past!
Oh yes. I remember that! Before I got a digital camera, iactuallt took my film to BJs. Much nicer to puck and choose what pucture to print and now to print them at home. I have many, many spiral booklets of prints. Prefer digital!
Omg how times have changed. I remember griping the film or disposable camera off at cvs and waiting DAYS to see what I had for pics. No editing, no choosing which were crappy and don’t want. Oh how I love technology.
I know!! The process involved lol
Yes I remember sending in the film and waiting to see how the photos came out. I was so excited when digital cameras were made lol
Oh yes! I remember when they’d have specials and I would get “free” double prints! I must say in this digital age I have fewer prints -something I do miss!
Yes I remember taking film in. Sometimes a surprise of what pictures I received back as I would sometimes find film I had set aside and forgot about.
One hour development was great .
I remember those little photo mart booths you used to drive up to drop off and pick up your photos.
I miss dropping off pictures and getting the bad with the good. I look back a laugh at stuff we delete now
I remember developing film at the local store, one hour was a big improvement
Absolutely! I remember the big deal it was when they started rush services where you could get your film
In a few days and then eventually hours in stead of a week or two. Lol. Kids today will never know the struggle haha.
Yes I do remember! ANd 1 hour photo was the best.
I remember dropping film to have it developed, but never booklets. 🤔
I was just going through a bag of pictures. I remember getting double prints in case someone wanted one. Often times, I would use next day developing, paying extra of course. Never knew what we were going to get, which ones could be developed and which did not!
I remember taking film in and then I would pick it up only to find out some pictures didn’t turn out 😥 but I loved the disposable cameras
I remember taking film to be developed and waiting for it to come back in the mail. Sometimes the pictures were blurry or worse of all everyone had red eyes. No second chances like today to retake pictures which aren’t perfect.
Oh yes I remember the good old days taking your film to the store for development
Yes, I remember. I love to see some beautiful natural pictures.
Yes I remember and still have them stored in a photo box 😀
Yes I remember. It was so excited and a little bit of a thrill because you never knew what prints you were going to get.
Yes I remember. Not only do I remember but I recently found some old film that was never developed and I have no clue what’s on them. Do they even develop that type of film anymore in this digital age? Lol
Yes I remember doing this. I love digital now, this way you can see if they are good pictures or bad pictures before you get them printed.
It was like a surprise everytime you dropped off and picked it up. Though I prefer our options we have now of choosing the best ones.
Yes I remember doing this. I still do it. I love dropping it off and excited to pick up pictures. Love the wait to see what they come out like. 🙂😊
Waiting for your film to be developed was the most exciting and stressful thing lol
Yes I totally remember! Disposal cameras were the go to for parties, trips, etc. My oh my how times have changed!
Yes! Putting in the envelope and then waiting. Crazy on things change.
~I remember back in the day shipping out my photos only to find out some of the favorite photos were not even recognizable. Those were the days.
Lol waiting for pics you just knew would be perfect and they rarely were! Was so exciting to open them up when u got them bk!!
Great gift. 2 kids in college and a teacher in the family a printer is essential.
Yes it was such an exciting time,I have lots of old pics labeled and in shadow boxes from over 25 years ago and the film lol,I still have my Polaroid camera for memories in the attic.
Yes! And you would always run out of film on a roll at the worst time!
