The actual rolls are hanging in my darkroom and here in my office on racks along a whole wall. Thousands of rolls of film. All waiting for me to do something with them. I have film from 10 years ago that I've never looked at. At least with the digital I have to look at it to download it and file it somewhere. The negatives may never be seen. I have high hopes for retirement, but that keeps moving further away, too!
