When I was a youngster, film was about $1.75 for a roll 35mm of 36 or $18 for a roll of 100 feet or 1.95 for a roll of 120 film. However, at the age of 12, my shooting budget was very tight none the less and because of that, I had a habit to try and make every frame count. This of course is not how one learns to take pictures. Starting out with the wrong frame of mind and I shot an amazing amount of film and having less than twenty interesting shot per 100 feet to show for it... yes, I stunk at it.
So just week ago I purchased 10 rolls of this stuff from the FPP (Film Photography Project) at a very good price of $2.49 per roll and that means that I should use it and have some fun with it. Unlike the modest stock pile of Kodak film in the freezer, this is going to be all about finding my 'eye' for composition and not about economy. Older and not exactly wiser, I've decided this will be my mid-life crisis... the recapture of my photography interest and more exactly the redefining of my sense of why I photograph.
I hope to soup it with:
Water - 1 litre
Laundry Soda - 100 gm.
Vitamin C - 16 gm.
Instant Coffee Crystals - 40 gm.
Salt (iodide) - 14 gm.
