Go ahead, rub it in. :/ We sluggards are in good company though: Gary Winogrand reportedly left 10,000 rolls of exposed but unprocessed film in one or more large plastic trash bins, discovered after his death. He could walk a block and shoot a roll. A friend who took one of Winogrand's seminars told me this.

I usually develop it the day I shoot it, or as soon as I get home if I am traveling. The latent image can deteriorate over time. I do have a huge backlog of developed film that I have not had time to scan and print, but I don't have to be in a hurry there, since developed film doesn't deteriorate if developed properly and stored properly. I have close to 300 rolls to scan stuff from! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 12/1/12 4:07 PM, "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> wrote: >I have quite a few rolls of B&W and E-6 film that need to be processed.
