My prints finally came in. No less than ten days after dropping off my found 110 cartridge at the CVS, I was able to hand over $5.99 and pick up what remains of my childhood photos. As predicted, many of the prints contain only a lot of grain and the frame numbers. Some are exceptionally dark, obviously taken inside without the flash strips that were so hard to find at the store.

There were some beautiful and interesting qualities to the pictures, though. Ironically, the photos taken 15 years ago retained more color and quality than those taken on the day I found the camera. My favorite pictures were those featuring the backyard and swingset area, because I photographed it both times. The later pictures show my play areas in a state of disrepair, a stark contrast to the neat, relatively new yard I played in as a child.
