I'll have to look and see if I have any pictures of Cecil the Wonder Goat...they'd be in the old boxes because that was back in the "get the film developed" days. Can you remember life without instant pictures? Remember paying for garbage because even if they didn't turn out you had to pay for them? Remember squinting at negatives and deciding which ones to make copies of for friends and family? And remember grabbing the camera when that perfect shot happened, and realizing you were either out of film or out of flashbulbs/cubes....and most usually out of both?

Edited to add: We called him Cecil the Wonder Goat because we were always wondering what he was going to pull next!

I once risked life and limb to get close up photos of a flock of pelicans while DH and my parents waited patiently in the car. Got fantastic close up photos before they flew away.
Got back in the car and bragged about my 29 photos ! DH said that was amazing since the roll only had 24 exposures. Yep, there was no film in it.

I really do love digital cameras.


If you have time to locate them, would love to see Cecil's pic..

I remember those old camera/film days too. One thing I miss about them is being able to grab a photo and mail it off or slip it into a frame. The printer DH has doesn't make great copies of photos. But the convenience of snapping away and only keeping the good ones is nice.

@oldhenlikesdogs great goat pictures!
