We had to develop our own film and prints. I learned a lot about lens effects and double exposures, but truthfully, I'd much rather play with photo in photoshop. :)Karen Duvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839711547501582977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-66385872855172653692013-06-14T11:54:13.331-04:002013-06-14T11:54:13.331-04:00Thanks Jenni!
