so what is the logical solution?
buy some good ole disposables from the resort drugstores.
after i got over the shock that they were freaking a million pesos (i could go to costco and buy a digital camera for the price of my two disposables but whatever that is a different post for a different day)
we got to work.
it was funny. i would take a picture and then automatically look at where the screen should be to see what it looked like. no such luck.
and then the flash? oh my gosh. we had like a 10 minute conversation around dusk every night about if the flash needs to be ON in the dark, or OFF in the dark. yep, we have come to depend on auto :)
flash forward to the airport.
i made a big fuss at each xray machine making SURE that the workers knew I had film and to make sure the x-ray machines wouldn't ruin it. I loved it; I am sure they thought I was a fancy world-class photographer with all sorts of fancy pictures of the Mexican Rivera on my camera. Little did they know it was 48 kodak pictures on a disposable camera.
THEN I had to find somewhere that developed the little buggers. COSTCO, the mother of EVERYTHING, didn't do it. I was speechless. Rite-Aid? Nope.
Walgreen's? Yes sir.
Another arm and a leg later (seriously though, after the cost of the cameras and then the film development I could have boughten a new lens for my DSLR camera. after all of that, i was soo excited to get the pictures back today.
totally worth it....
and another...
and like 30 more. of the 48. 30 look just like that :) :( :( :(
but oh wait. the rest? the ones that aren't just gray splotches? pictures I took of beverages. yep. numerous photos of DRINKS.
i got one in there of us WITH our beverages, at least :)
some more of these pretty pictures... look at that beach ;)
the pictures of the freaking ANIMALS turned out. i am so glad. NOT :( why i took this i don't even know.
and let's round out the honeymoon pictures with another great shot.
right when i was about to give up and throw away the disk's of pictures, for some reason I decided to click on the second to last picture.
and i am sure glad I did :)
maybe we started to figure out the flash button just a liiiiitle too late. ;)
