Me, today.
Me, 50 years ago.
First song I heard on the radio this morning was "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen. How fitting! Don't get me wrong, I cherish my growing-up years and my raising-kids years. But I believe the 50s will be about further self-discovery and new adventures. Lots of travel and publishing more books, and eventually - God-willing - becoming a grandma!

Oh, the anticipation we felt, waiting for our phot

Oh, the anticipation we felt, waiting for our photos to develop! Did we waste film on pictures that didn't turn out? Too much light? Someone closed their eyes? Your kid made a goofy face? Or - did the film get ruined by overexposure (that happened to me a few times!).
Who remembers a time when pictures weren't instantly available? Did you take your film to the nearby drug store, camera shop, or Fotomat?
In the book I'm currently writing, my heroine - a young amateur photographer - takes a very important roll of film to be developed, and you can be sure she is tied up in knots over how the photos will turn out. The scene takes place in 1982, so this was around the time one hour processing became available. I'll have to do more research on the specifics (being I was only 9 that year so no memories of film processing speed)! I seem to recall one hour developing was more expensive, so usually we'd end up waiting a week or so for our pictures.
Although the joy of cracking open an envelope of freshly developed photos is long gone, I hope, in this book, to give a hint of what it felt like to cherish every picture taken, and how we took great care in getting the picture "just right".
