How about Columbus peeking over the edge of a flat world with his three ships waiting on top. He could say "Well, this is going to make some changes to things!"

Part of that vintage look which you see in older photographs is attributed to shooting a larger format film usually 6×6, 6×7,6×9 or 4×5. As far as film prices it is not all that expensive. An average roll of 120 size black and white film will cost anywhere from $3-$5 a roll and anywhere from $3-$5 to process the negatives at a professional photo finishing shop (much much cheaper if you develop on your own). Just look through the yellow pages to find a professional photo finishing shop and ask if they process medium or large format film.
In terms of printing the image, I would actually suggest going digital. Vintage prints are typically printed on fiber based papers as your plasticy RC based papers really didn’t come out until fairly recently in terms of photo history is concerned. Buy yourself a decent Epson printer and negative scanner. When you get your film developed only ask for the negatives, take your negatives home and scan them. As for the type of paper to print on try a heavy stock watercolor paper. There are many types of watercolor papers, so I would suggest something cold pressed and without much texture. Digitally you can also tone your images quite easily to give it somewhat of a sepia tone.

How about a drawing of Christopher Columbus and his men coming off the ships and the Indians are waiting with food and water with the chief pointing saying,"Uh-Uh! Here's some food,here's some water. BACK ON THE BOAT!"

If you find the filem it makes sense that the images would come out "old time"

You can vintage a photograph on photoshop so easily, "old time" photos are usually faked.

Post back later with your discovery…

Movie Review help please:)?
So for a movie review I chose to do A Mighty Heart.
Watched the movie twice and now I have to answer the following question:
"State 5 conventions (standard or formulaic ingredients) of the genre that the movie uses."
The main genre of the movie is a docu-drama, and by watching it it can be broken down to both genre’s of Biopic and Thriller.
I need conventions of a thriller/biopic, and have already looked at the site and it didnt really help. The one convention i already have is Injustice->religious intolerance.
Could somebody please help me come up with a few more or reccomend a site that explaings each sub genre with a bit more information.
Thanks.

Old Cameras for a nice vintage look in prints?
I have had a few old cameras just for looks sitting on my shelves. I have been curious however if there is some that can give you a cool vintage look in print? Also is there anything I should know about high cost in film or hard to find films for old cameras. Last, is there any companies that specialize in developing vintage films?
