I don't know if any musician qualifies as being "unique", but Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart) certainly is a contender for such a title.

Kodak stopped producing the film last year, and now the last place to get it processed has run out of chemicals. Story here.
My only question, does this mean I have to stop masturbating?

I think I have an undeveloped roll - Sometimes wonder what's on it.
Also have an unshot roll - Maybe I can sell it as a collectors item. Moose

I guess I can quit feeling guilty about all the un-shot rolls in my freezer. The last couple years I was shooting film it seemed to me that the colors I was getting with Kodachrome just were not as vibrant as they used to be.
I switched to digital a few years ago and have not shot a single roll of film since. My wife will be glad to have the space in the freezer, but she's pissed about the money I spent on all those un-shot rolls. At least I am not spending $8 a roll to get them developed anymore. ![]() Tactimatically speaking, the molecubes are out of alignment. -- S.Valley What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python You can't build a Time Machine without Weird Optics -- S.

what would paul simon say?
I switched to digital a few years ago and have not shot a single roll of film since. tell me about it. i have a bulk roll of techpan here somewhere, and the chems for it, and i've never used it. i have a roll of original velvia, and two rolls of kodak high-speed infrared in my freezer, and a roll of tmax 3200 that's probably not even good anymore...

I had a formula for developer that was very, very fine grain and it was really tricky to develop evenly. Man, I could make huge prints of insects with it! I still have my darkroom and enlarger and sink, but my wife turned it into her computer lab. I experimented a lot with Kodalith Pan also, still have a couple bulk rolls of it and boxes of 8x10 sheets. Photoshop and an Epson printer sure took the tedium out of the process.

I had a formula for developer that was very, very fine grain and it was really tricky to develop evenly. Man, I could make huge prints of insects with it! i've actually never used it. we were talking about it in my history of photo class in college, and i tried to procure some that night only to find it had been discontinued that same day. i came and told my prof, and he said, "oh, here, have a whole bulk roll and the chemistry for it".
I still have my darkroom and enlarger and sink, but my wife turned it into her computer lab. i'm not giving up my enlarger or film cameras, but i sure haven't used them in at least 5 years.
Photoshop and an Epson printer sure took the tedium out of the process. yeah, it's way easier and faster. but i dunno. it's missing something, i think.

We have two 4x5 camera systems, one a Sinar, and a full Hasselblad system, along with a 4x5 computerized enlarger. All gathering dust. We haven't used them in years either. (Want to buy a few gross of excellent buggy whips?)

Yeah, I still have a color 4x5 enlarger, also. And a beautiful Nikon F5 with a data back. I will keep them and my grandson has been after me to show him how we used to do it in the "olden days." I try to take advantage of any time he wants to spend with me. He even likes going out collecting dragonflies with me.

We have a dry-to-dry Cibachrome processor, also a boat anchor. We could do some good stuff back in the day. Now almost anyone can master the processing with a computer.
But there is still the photo-eye. That's the one thing they haven't computerized yet.
