  1. I sort of remember helping my father develop some film as a science experiment, but like so many other things the memory is very faded.

    I wonder if the fate of steam locomotives and film are as parallel as I think they are.
    They both were state of the art for a long time and they both went away very fast when new technology made them obsolete.

  2. Actually there is a movement of enthusiasts that are going back to or getting into film. Not unlike the vinyl record resurgence. Though maybe not as big yet.

    I still have a stash of 35mm film sealed in a fridge I bought 15-20 years ago (GULP!). Mostly E6 professional and "prosumer" grade stuff. Hope it is still good. Need to find the time to go out and use it up.

    I image I will now have to ship the film out of state to get it processed...
