I get my film developed at North Coast Photo. Now I think they are called Great American Photo. They are located in Carlsbad, Ca. They do great work in my opinion. The moderator of this Film section, Paul, had recommended in the past. He was not wrong. Their website will provide the prices and options available for processing and scanning. Hope this helps. Jim.

It is, and I sure had a wonderful time exploring your home town, Jim! Some of my favorite captures are still to be posted from Ocean Springs. (Did you see the earlier image posted of the depot? That one won the Senior Games silver arts category.)
Yes I did. Very good work. Jim.

That first picture looks like Weeks Bayou. You have captured my home town well. Jim.

Last month went to the local St. Paddy Day Parade. Took my film camera and Fuji 400 color film. Some are saying that this film is nothing more than Kodak Gold rebranded. Personally, I do not know if this is correct or not. One thing I do know, being a novice photographer, I now have a better appreciation for those professional photographers shooting sporting events on a manual focus lens. The floats in the parade were not traveling that fast but I had a lot of shots out of focus. All shot with a 135mm and 85mm vintage lens.

Very nice. I grew up in a town just west of you. A place called Twin Falls. I was about a half mile from the Snake.

Nice photos. Is that a Mormon Temple in the back ground of the falls? Jim.

Curmudgeon. They are a lot of fun to look at. Hey Don. Last year we had some guy by the name of Jay Leno show up and partake in the party. Never heard of him but people said he is a big fan of classic cars. Jim.

Yes. Ther camera is a keeper alright. I have been blessed to have added several vintage lenses to the 50mm. Thanks.

During the first week of October every year the Mississippi Gulf Coast has a weeklong festival called Cruisin the Coast. It is referred to as "Americas Largest Block Party" and it show cases antique, classic and hot rod vehicles. It started in 1996 with 374 classic cars registering. Last year almost ten thousand antique, classic and hot rods registered from multiple states and some foreign countries.
Two years ago, I had bought an old film camera along with a vintage 50mm lens. I wanted to get a roll of film through the camera before my limited warranty ran out to ensure the camera worked and there was no light leaks. The only film I had was Illford HP5, so I took the camera with the film and attached are some of the pictures I got when the block party came to Biloxi. B&W film does not do justice to the paint jobs on these classic cars but it was all I had at the time. Hope you enjoy. Jim.

Thank you Curmudgeon. I appreciate your kind words. I have only been shooting film for around a year. Have a lot to learn but it was fun doing the research for this post. Merry Christmas. Jim
