[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 258959, member: 6277"] I worked in 1 hour photo labs. 1st at One Hour Photo in Tuscaloosa and then took over three other labs for that company then they sold out to PhotoWorld and I ran 6 labs for them at first and then when to 18 labs. They merged with CameraAmerica and I went from 18 to working in over 100 labs over the southeast. I then bought two labs in Montgomery Alabama. After a few years I was the writing on the wall and knew that film was not the place to be. I sold out while the market was still pretty good and went to work for CPI Photo Finish which was a division of Sears Portrait. They bought out Fox photo and became the largest lab company in the country. Stayed with them for about three years and decided to retire for the first time. They went out of business about 2 years later so again my timing was pretty good. I loved the business and really miss it. After all this I did not touch a camera for years. Just got back into it in 2011 in any kind of a serious way. That was when I bought my D3100. the rest you can see here on the forum. [/QUOTE]
