things to remember when shooting your roll of 36 exposures slide film:

1.  meter carefully, use gray card or light meter
2.  load film in low light
3.  when you're done with your last exposure, you have to push release button on the bottom of yourcamera before camera allows you to rewind film (for those of you who haven't used a film SLR in a long time)
4.  have film developed NORMAL (not pushed or pulled) and have slides put into mounts for our analog slide show
5.  when you get your slides back pick the best 10-15 for display in class
6.  shoot and develop film early in case you run into problems and/or ruin your film,
photography = murphy's law
