I hope you're doing a photo essay on your mother and her photography.
 
Good for her! My Wife had an Uncle that was enthusiastic about photography right up to his passing at 91. Used a Pentax Spotmatic with several lenses.
 
i took quite a few photos while i was in virginia.mainly of the farm and property but a few of her.she had tons of slides that got lost in the move from new york to virginia 4 years ago.i have some in my possession but not many.those 2 camera's shot nothing but kodachrome for years.i almost put a 20 year old roll of kodachrome in it while i was down there.but i figured if she shot some pics i wanted to make sure they come out.i'll have to finish it up then get them processed.cant wait to see.
 
If she's still on this planet I hope you'll figure out how to get, somehow, from VA to NY and photograph her with film somebody can actually process...unlike, Kodachrome.
 
i have some pics of her on ilford xp2 that i can send out to a local store.i was shooting hp5 but my local camera shop that processes it wants to charge 40.00 bucks a roll.so i'll wait and send it out at my leisure .
looking into getting a developing tank and doing it as i used to.then i would need a scanner to upload to my computer.i shot 10 rolls of film down there and cant wait to get them developed.
