This is a warning to all those whom are like me and love to take
pictures with a 35 film camera. I went up to Auburn with my fiance,
girlfriend at the time, and proposed to her up there on a nature trail. I
had my Minolta camera with us, and took plenty of pictures of our trek.
After my film ran out right after I proposed to her, I put in some
black and white film to take a few pictures for memories. Instead of 24
exposure they are 36 exposure and so we took plenty of pictures of the
two of us. However, when I dropped them off at CVS Pharmacy, explaining
to them that they were black & white, something terrible happened.
I
went back to pick them up a little over an hour, and had the manager
come and speak to me. They ran the black and white photos through a
color processor and ruined every picture. Apparently there is some kind
of black and white film that can be ran through a color processor. I've
never heard of such a thing. In fact, the black and white film I had in
the camera is the same brand of black and white I used 10 years ago when
I took black and white pictures before my first Minolta stopped
working.
So all of my engagement pictures... gone. All she has to
offer me is a free four pack of "CVS" brand 400 speed 35 film. How
exciting... goodbye memories of my engagement in the wilderness, and here
a few free rolls of film, now that I'm no longer in Auburn. So word of
advice, if you like taking black and white pictures.
Don't go anywhere
except a professional camera/photo place.
Yes, my fiance and me pretty much won't shop at CVS anymore.
