Tools of My "Trade"
I love expired film!
Ok, lets see what we have in this photo. Clockwise from the top center: my 1950's AGFA Clack camera, 4 rolls of Kodak Ektachrome EPD 120 (ISO 200) expired 10/1987, 1 roll of Fuji Velvia RVP 120 (ISO 50) expired 9/2003, 1 roll of Kodak Lumiere LPZ 120 100X of unknown expiration, 1 roll of AGFA Chrome 50 RS Professional expired 7/1988, another roll of Fuji Velvia RVP 120 (ISO 50) expired 9/2003, 1 roll of Kodak Ektachrome 50 Tungsten EPY 120 expired 3/1978, 6 rolls of Kodak Ektachrome 50 Tungsten EPY 120 expired 9/1990, a pro pack of Fuji Velvia RVP 120 (ISO 50) expired 9/2003, and one roll (behind the Clack) of AGFA RSX-II (ISO 200) expired 8/2003. The exposed slide film is the Kodak Ektachrome 50 Tungsten EPY 120 which expired 3/1978.

I voted for your story. I liked it. I think a lot of people will relate and be interested in the topic. I totally know what you mean about being a different photographer with digital. I seriously feel like Paparazzi sometimes!

So basically, that was a really good story and you got my vote. I've never thought of that and I am totally going to the next grocery or drug store that closes to pick up some old film (it happens all the time). I hope this gets published!

Hi Paul, I only read the comment you made in july on my photo what was taken with my digital nikon trough the viewfinder of my agfa clack. I lost my password and changed my email adress so just today I started a new account here. You asked in your comment if I was using the agfa clack also to shoot with film. No, I dont, I just use it for the viewfinder technic. Looking here at your work I consider giving it a try! Greetz, Carla
