Negative 3a
Having not used a Kodak 35 in quite a few years, I forgot that the film had to be advanced by pushing down a little button on the top and simultaneously turning the film winding knob. But.... when you do this, the shutter is cocked and it's ready to take another picture. So, even if you bump the shutter accidentally, you're going to take a picture of something. This unexposed fourth frame of the roll was a result of my not remembering that the best way to do this with a Kodak 35 is to not wind the film after taking a shot and only winding it when you're ready to take the next shot. Here, I wound it right after I took the picture of my high school and then drove across town to photograph the grade school. But, in driving across town to my next subject, I forgot I had already wound it, so I ended up winding it again and totally skipping this frame. But, I wanted to detail the whole process, so here is the unexposed frame in all it's glory.
After I'd done it, I realized right away what had happened, so I made sure it didn't happen for the rest of the roll. And it didn't. (Although there was one other tiny thing I forgot to do, which will be described later.)
