I got kicked out of every camera store in the Chicago area when I was 12 and
13 and would spend hours in each one after going to the Chicago library.
Normally I had about 3 bucks in my wallet. And head to Wabash and Central
camera. And look at every single item in the entire camera store pick it up
if I could.
All I wanted out of life was to be able to walk into a camera store and buy
something. A pack of paper. A litter timer. A cute darkroom light. Anything.
Hypo clearing agent.
