Roll of Fuji Superia 35 mm film. 24 exposures. I’ve left this at the studio so can’t double check, but it’s probably not the 100 Reala (for “professionals”) which I did used to use; instead I would guess it’s the 200.
This was in the fridge, somehow overlooked. Shocking really as I do clean the fridge. Once upon a time you could open up my fridge and find various rolls of film, 35mm and 120, in unexposed and exposed states. And lots of limes, but that’s another story.
I’m almost certain this is unused, as the leader reel was out. As soon as I touched the leader it broke off. Perhaps it grew tired of waiting.
Status: Take a chance on its unused status, delicately pull out the leader and load up the old Nikon for one last walkabout. I would like to see a contact sheet again, even if it happens to be double exposed.
Kill-ratio: 22:3 / ~7:1

Today is Mardi Gras. I permit myself the indulgence of absolutely delicious Yogurt and Onion potato chips. Then I will give them up for Lent. I’m barely religious, but these little rituals do linger. They are to be accompanied by a cold glass of Chardonnay – with ice. Not too classy, but hey, the Pope resigned, who’s judging?
Have ‘inherited’ a couple of film cameras from my partner … love working with them. There’s a different sort of precision there that’s good to cultivate. And nothing beats black & white film photography.
So true on both counts. I love B&W film.
Sounds fabulous! I’m with John, this gave me a little wistfulness..
Also oddly cheering:)
…a post that quite unexpectedly leaves me feeling nostalgic.
🙂 That is cheering somehow.
Just bought a 3 pack of film the other day. After opening and taking a few photos I realized that it was color film and that what I really wanted was B/W….
To many years have passed since last time I touched film, so I completely forgot that you have to choose this before shooting…
That’s so true, I would think now the choices are much less and so easy to make the mistake. B & W is something film still IMHO captures better than digital.
