Back in the day when you had to wait to see you missed the shot.

I had one of those in the parking lot where I worked a long time ago. Funny, about that time I worked for a Fiat dealer and those were new, early 70's. Thats a Fiat 850 Spyder.

Nice to reminisce. Hope I spelled it right.

Missed your shot, heck. I felt lucky to get a few acceptable ones out of a roll. I must say, though, that, as I go back, even the not so good ones are looking better, and those good ones were worth the effort. Mostly of my kids. As I go through them now, there are some that are absolutely priceless. That Canon ftb was the best camera I ever had.

I am sometimes nostalgic for the film era but don't feel any nostagia for the parking lot kiosks. I do miss my 124 spyders though!

I remember these kiosks but never actually used one. I was always near a photo studio.

Looks like the late 1950s.
It can't be, the car at the Fotomat is a Fiat 850 Spyder and they were only made from 1964 to 1973. I was a mechanic at a Fiat dealer when they were new.

That put a smile on my face. Love the car also. Thanks for sharing it, Harry.

Wow, you took me back a half a century.
Dropped off many super 8mm movie cartridge's, at Fotomat's in the early 70's. Had dozens of locations, in Phoenix.
A couple buddies & I made films for competition in film festivals and high school film class. Not to brag, but I must say we did quite well.

My wife briefly worked for one of those in NY back in the day. The owner? Manager? came on to her and she had to quit.
