I’ve been shooting in and around Leeds using my 7 for the last two weeks, trying to get a feel for the hidden parts of the city, urban monoliths, vegetation, the odd human in the urbanscape, etc. I’m taking 12 rolls of 120 in to the lab at lunch time and can already feel my excitement growing, it’ll reach fever pitch at about the time I get the archival sheets handed back to me tomorrow.
About 5 minutes later whilst sitting behind the wheel in the lab car park I’ll be holding the negs up to the light and feeling either crestfallen or elated. Then comes the mad rush to the scanner.
This is Film.

I’m about to receive an old Holga 120, and a film SLR, so will be joining you in this crazy thing called ‘film’

Don’t look at the film, avoid eye contact, its bad luck… don’t even smell them.
Even better, get someone else to pick them up for you and not tell you when they will be doing it.
Then scan them and only look at the results once you’ve gone all the way through.
I bet you can’t do it.
