Roll of Film…

There was a time, a long long time ago, when one measured one’s photography by rolls of film. Going on holiday – how many rolls of film to take with you? How many rolls of film did you take to get that shot?..and so on.

Unexposed rolls of film were left in your camera – sometimes for weeks – before finally exposing all of the roll. This would lead to strange collections of images that had no real relationship to one another in the same batch of 36 slides. (I always used slides never really got into working in a darkroom).

I was reminded of this when uploaded the images on an SD card that had been sitting in my camera for several days. I had a random collection of images captured in my garden. There was no real connection between them (when is there ever?). Of course these were only from a 3 day period. In the past I have had a roll of film sitting in a camera for a month or so. I had to finish the roll first. Then, I could send it off to the famous PO Box in Hemel Hempstead.

Random thoughts.
