“I think that’s what the bottom of camera bags are for!” (2022)

It might not appeal to everyone, but sometimes I like the challenge of finding (or in this case, being given) a roll of film found at the bottom of a camera bag, in a box, container, or shelf. Really, anywhere one might inadvertently leave a roll of film that falls short of best storage practices.

I think it might be the fun of finding out whether or not I can get usable photos from it, and what sort of impact its history might have on those results.

The photos above were from a roll of Rave 200 Color film I was given in 2022. If I remember correctly, it was distributed by Wal-Mart and may have been repackaged Konica Centuria.
