Ok, I’m going to jump in…

Get a nice film camera and a nice 50mm or so lens ($350), 10x 200-photo album ($150), 66x 35mm cartidges of your choice (about $400), have it all proccesed, printed and scanned (about 600). You can shoot about 6 pics a day until Dec 31st.

I still have my old Praktica and a couple of the lenses with me as that is my first camera and was a gift from my dad. So it is a keepsake although I no longer shoot with it. I sold my Canon film cameras when I sold my canon dslr system and switched to Fuji. I guess I am not ready going back to film,yet. But thanks for the suggestion. But your project idea is something I may adopt using my Fuji. It sounds fun!

total about $1500. Still some spare money? Print couple fine albums and give them to your friends or family

most important: do it all at your local photo show.
