BIMD if you wanted to take a picture of something you would have to go buy a roll of this special kind of plastic. It would come in a little closed case that you could fit into the back of your camera and you had to be careful that it never got out into the light, cause if it did it would ruin all your pictures. Also, you couldn't see what any of your pictures looked like until you'd finished using up the whole roll. Even then, you'd have to take that roll to a special store where people working in a dark room would put that plastic into some kind of chemicals. A few days later you could go pick up prints of your pictures in whichever sizes you had told them you wanted and it would be exciting to look through all the pictures for the first time to see which ones were good and which weren't. Then, we would take those pictures and stick them into these special books we used to buy just for holding printed pictures and we would keep those books somewhere safe so those pictures wouldn't get lost.
