One possibility is to use a process that gives you slides instead of negatives. I did this for a long time when I didn't have access to a darkroom. Another possibility is to develop the film, then scan it. These days most pictures end up on the web instead of in photo albums, so this method can work out sensibly if you don't have a darkroom enlarger, etc...

Re: Exciting news! (none / 1)

I can't scan medium format myself either, so the I get a local lab to dev and scan it. I doubt that'll cause In Wales any trouble for the limited amount of 120 she's likely to shoot.

'Limited'? You perhaps misunderestimate(TM) my obsessions!

Other current obsessions include listening to Kings of Leon constantly, especially this one - Black Thumbnail.

Love 'em, not to everyone's taste by any means.

My other favourite of theirs is The Bucket which was just so magic when I heard it at the Reading Festival, it sent a shiver down my back.

And I am going through a beef casserole phase. especially nice with green beans and chopped up chilli thrown in. Yum.

I'm guessing tens of rolls of film rather than hundreds ...

Who bought the scale focus camera? Eh? Young whippersnappers ... think they're so obsessive.

When I grow up I'll be as cool as you, Colman.

Yes, old age does tend to destroy it. Not that I was ever cool.

I was going to say that she should set herself a higher targe ;-)

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
