Maywong, sweetest185, arrowchild : Thank you. I had a lot of fun with these. B/W has always been one of my favorite formats.

Now if I can talk my husband into an old pinhole camera...

My mom complained about that when I took her to my grandson's birthday party. Yes, it was my grandson's b-day party. He thought Aimee was rather awesome and had a lot of giggles over her. (He just turned a year old.)

Grandma had a lot of fun with her and made SURE to lift up her skirt to see if she was a good girl or a bad girl. You know, good girls wear PANTS. ROLF! My grandma is so STRICT about dolls wearing undies. lmao. Grandma loves her. "Such a SWEET face. Sometimes, she looks sad. Sometimes she looks mad. Oh my. I don't like that MAD look." *giggles*

Thank you, though. Aimee is my favorite. Her lashes are just ones that I picked up at The Dollar Store, and they were thick, black and really long. Even with the blond wig she's wearing, it's very striking indeed.

I took one adult night school class in photography to learn how to develop film but that was years ago and I forgot. When I was a working artist (in fashion advertising) I did all the darkroom stuff- but that was for making PMTs with a 24 foot long process camera- different thing altogether. I liked the darkroom though. I could lock myself in there for hours and no one could bug me. Not even the executives could make me come out of there, lol! And I miss my favorite all-time camera- my old Canon AE-1.

I was always pretty happy with a regular SLR Pentax. I only had the one lens on it, basically, the one that it came with...and it's my hubby's camera. I stupidly loaned mine out in college and the $**#**^& which borrowed it got the film stuck in it because he loaded the film wrong. He ripped the film out of the camera and ruined the forward lever. I never could afford to get it fixed.

I loved being in the darkroom. It was so easy to just get lost developing film and prints. I miss those days.
