This customer supplied photo (of your's truly) was snapped with a 45 year old Polaroid "instant film" camera at Lawrence Photo. Yup! We carry that stuff down at the store. This camera shoots both black and white and color and uses the "peel apart" type film We will soon be stocking the new Impossible Project film for the old Polaroid Sun 600 and SX70 cameras.
Stop in and say hi sometime and hopefully you won't catch me sleeping on the job.

(55 x 3) x 2 = Nippy!
Sunday was a great warm day with a high predicted in the upper 50's so Him and I took the bike out for a ride about. I will confirm that unless dressed properly, 55 miles, averaging 55 mph in 55 degree weather can feel rather cool but well worth getting out and visiting friends not too terribly far from home. The 54 mile ride home near just before sunset did get a bit nippy!

1958 How Kodak - How Film Is Made
This little gem came to me by way of one of our Facebook buddies at Lawrence Photo and it was so good I just had to share it.
The year was 1958 and this is how Kokak made film then.

Truck Stop Honeymoon
Well Him and some of our friends met up at Old Cowtown Museum at their swanky Empire House and got to hear the world traveled musical group Truck Stop Honeymoon. Did not know I was going to get to go too! You see we just walked down so Him could buy a ticket and they said I could go too but I would have to have a ticket if I was going to have my own chair....which of course I needed that. I must have had the best seat in the house...one the aisle on the second row. When I got bored though I did get held by the nice lady Kim who runs Kansas Humane Society. Him's known her a long time and said she was a CEO/President of the place. Maybe we all should send them a check and help out less fortunate critters that don't get to go to fancy concerts all the time.

@ Where'd that come from?
Ever wonder where the @ symbol came from? First used in 1536 a Florentine merchant used it to quantify units of wine shipped in clay containers known as amphorae. This little used character - up until recent history with the advent of the everyday commodity known as the internet - resided quietly and rather ignored for the most part until Ray Tomlinson a scientist at BNN Technologies in Cabridge Massachuseets needed a little used character so he could send a messaged to another computer through a network called Arpanet (the predecessor to the internet).
"The address needed an individual's name, he reasoned, as well as the name of the computer which might service many users. ... Tomlinson's eyese fell on the @ poised above "P" on his Model 33 teletype" - Smithsonian September 2012
