Life at DPS through the Lens of a Vintage Canon AE-1

Hi friends. A while back I had the wild idea of acquiring a vintage film camera, which I knew nothing about so a huge thank you to YouTube for teaching me how to operate one, and wanted to shoot random moments with the Dead People's Stuff crew. I searched the internet for many weeks for the perfect gently used Canon AE-1 and was able to find one, on my favorite marketplace app Mercari.

Why film photography? Because we're an antique shop!

Fast forward a couple months, I found two Kodak gold films in my purse that were ready to be processed and drove over to Bedford Camera & Video in Oklahoma City. These are the moments I captured on film. Enjoy!
