Second roll of film

I already mentioned this on Instagram, but I want to have a record of it here too. My second roll of film didn't turn out at all. The print you see in the iPhone photo below is the only one I got back, and that was not exactly the intended result. I had carefully considered each shot I took on that roll over the course of three months. The back of the camera had opened halfway through the roll and apparently ruined it all.

If you recall, the back of the camera opened up during my first roll too. However, that time, the first half of the roll still developed okay, even though the photography itself was mostly garbage. I learned a lot from that half roll and applied it to my second, which makes this loss even more painful.

The first exposure on it would have been a group shot of my sister-in-law's family, having just arrived in Minnesota from Argentina. It was the first time two of them had ever set foot in the United States. Another lesson learned: take back-up photos with the iPhone!

The good news is I switched to another old camera (pictured below) found in another in-law's basement. I already shot a roll of film on it and 23 exposures were returned to me! I plan to show some of the results next week.
