A few years ago, I went to a Pennsylvania flea market with a variety of produce stands and odds-and-ends-type stores. One shop, in particular, caught my eye because of the “50% off entire store” sign. It was a cluttered, dusty place. There were shelves of expired, boxed hair dye, 90’s-looking 3-ring binders, random figurines, and the like, but tucked into the very back was a box filled with unused rolls of film. One man’s junk is another woman’s treasure and to me, it was pure gold! The sticker price read a little over a dollar and at 50% off it was a bargain I couldn’t pass up. I had no idea if the various rolls were expired but I grabbed the remaining color rolls and a hand full of black and white in the hopes that these might turn out.

When I got home, I put the film in a drawer. Life got busy and I forgot. And sadly, apart from bringing a roll on our Germany trip (something else I have yet to post!), I’ve only shot three—two of them this past December, haha. Thankfully, they’ve all turned out! These film scans are a reminder that I need to dust the rest of the rolls off and keep on practicing. Here are my favorite shots from a roll of Kodak Black and White:
