SPT - It's all here in black and white.
*
So generally I prefer photographs in color. I know, it's more hip and sophisticated to go for the black and white, but I've learned that's just not me. Having said that, I do like this picture in black and white - it seems to suit the subject.

Ken's step-grandmother, Myrt, passed away a few weeks ago and Ken's mom took the time to choose a few of Myrt's belongings that we might appreciate and I now own this neat old camera. I tried to load some 35mm film into it, and it doesn't fit, so I need to go to a specialty store and see if I can find film that works in a Kando circa ??? ?I'll betcha the film I find will be black and white! I am really excited to try this camera out and enjoy some black and white pictures taken on my keepsake.

I bet it is 110. I have an old Brownie camera that was a gift for my High School graduation. It takes 110 film and the best pictures I have ever taken. 110 film does come in color or black and white. Be sure to share the pictures with us.

Ooh, I just love black and white photos. There's just something about them that is so beautiful to me. That camera is a very cool keepsake. And if you can find film so you can actually use it--what a treasure!

Somehow I find it surprising that you are not into black and white photos. This one is very cool. And so is that camera. I can't wait to see the pictures you take with it.
