A few years ago, I was on assignment in an antique eastern land that shall remain nameless. Its government had allowed me extensive and impressive access to things and places in the country, delighting me and my employers. I spent several weeks there, with some 50 rolls the result, which I packed into my carry-on luggage for safe return home. As I left the country, I was burning with anticipation to see the processed film. Imagine my horror when, while watching the hand inspection of my bags at Heathrow, I realized that the films tumbling out of my Ziplocs weren't my rolls of Velvia and Kodachrome, but rather an equal number of Kodak colour negative film. Prior to my departure from that antique eastern land, the authorities had switched my exposed films for their unexposed rolls. Sometimes, you may take pictures but cannot have them too.
