The Last Two Rolls
It’s been a busy week. Getting back to work after almost 2 weeks away is always a bit of a jolt and been a bit stressful, between that and family life, evenings have been all about slowly working through the small mountain of film I brought back from the Lake District. Most of it’s now scanned. The drying box has been in regular use. The scanner’s barely had a break. And tonight, I finally developed the last two rolls of Kodak Gold 200 🎉🥳 It was a quiet little moment—pulling those final rolls from the tank, rinsing them, and hanging them up to dry. A strange mix of relief and satisfaction. I’d set myself the goal of having all the film developed by the weekend so I could move into the next stage: editing, scanning clean-up, and building the final video. Film is funny like that. You can come back from a trip with a head full of ideas, images you hope you’ve captured, and then spend days just coaxing them into the light—one development session at a time. But the finish line is in sig...
