[QUOTE=zelda_pinwheel...and remember how long you had to wait to see the photos ? because you had to take them to the laboratory to be developped, and come back to pick them up, and only then could you know if they came out as well as you hoped. for some special photos it was just agony to wait so long ! and then there appeared the "one hour" labs, and it was amazing so see them so fast !

and remember sometimes you would take the last 2 or 3 photos on the film of nothing at all, just to finish it, because you were in a hurry to see the pictures ? and then get the film back and have 3 lovely closeups of your feet, or the corner of a table...

Yes, I do too! I remember before the 1 hour labs, they had these little Foto Huts where you drive by and drop off film and drive back to pick up the pictures later. I wonder if this was the beginning of drive-thru's?
