40 rolls of 35mm and 6 rolls of 120 which will have been shot from 1994 to 2006.. most of them during the 90´s.
1512 exposures.
this bag of odds n ends has been carried around as i´ve moved house a dozen times and always mean´t to develope them, yet never had the funds to do so.
i´ve always had a habit of living beyond my means photographically, shooting more than i could afford to. these films represent after-parties, photos from india i did not want to see and goodness knows what else.. some are extra rolls from working on commission – `emergency` films i ended up shooting which did not contain magazine-useable photos and therefore did not justify developing.
i think it´s time to do something with them.. i´m still skint and so it´s tempting to sell a couple off on ebay as-is.. pot luck for a buyer.. curiosity is getting the better of me though, so i´m going to keep them.
will post some results here – could be some surprises.
Go for it!
I've been thinking of something similar. I want to go through my whole digital archive, which started in 2007, to look for pictures I might have missed, but it's such a big project that I keep delaying it. Must make it a priority soon, but it would be nice to have at least one or two full days to only focus on it.
Anyways, post them here if you find something, I'm following your blog.

I had 8 films that I had carried around with me for at least 5 years and I got them developed recently. Cost a small fortune but made me so happy as there were photos of lots of fun filled times (and some badly shot photos too!).
I love the idea of selling them on Ebay! It would be a seriously hard thing to do though.

woha.. sexy blog. Love the headerphoto. That`s the one you did with pinholecamera, right? Lots of films!! If you let a shop do the developing of the films you will get a fair price, and than you can scan them yourself
-Bjarte, I was thinking the same thing the other day. hehe
see you on the flipside on saturday
good one alex – looking forward to seeing yo.. bring photos..
Jesus!
1512 exposures just waiting there..all overlapping and close to each other! I don’t think I could take it, just too exciting.
