Croatia 35mm Film; Part 1

i had a mini panic attack when i got back from croatia and learned that snapfish recently discontinued film developing. they had the best deal, too! $5.30 for photos sent to you and put online. dang. so then i called around and discovered that most people have given up on film and barely anybody is developing it now. i eventually settled on meijer, but i paid twice as much as i was planning on!

i am glad i brought my big old camera bag and took the time to take some film shots, they definitely turned out the best of any camera, as i knew they would; )

At ACI Marina, in Split, Croatia. We got our boat from here and had a little time to kill before we took off.

This is the president's vacation home near Split that our captain showed us.

Andrew's sister, Tory. First day on the boat.

C'est la vie.

Hvar Town, Hvar; this was a pretty ritzy town! We couldn't dock our boat - we had to pull up and jump onto shore.


do any of you still use film? where do you get it developed?
