Lot of work, got dirty, found things and then I thought



Oh well: no change of clothes for me until Friday.  :wink:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

A film hunt, eh? Sounds fun, can I join?

I found the film! It's on my teeth.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

I might be able swim that far... I just hope it isn't shark season anywhere.


Or maybe I could ride a shark there?

I got a roll of film to turn in to get developed.  It was from my mom's old 35mm camera that I found last fall.  Hopefully the pictures will turn out. 
God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

What are you hunting for, Trevor? Certain titles or just trying to find overlooked film cans in places they shouldn't be?

I'd love to dig into all the Harry Novak films that cheating weasel left piled up in his former offices. In the documentary on AXE, they had to dig through a couple of rooms stacked to the ceiling with film reels in unmarked cardboard boxes. I fear that most of those films are just going to end up rotting away. Such a loss.
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

All we're doing is trying to find films for a client among some un accessed films: we found most of them so far.  :teddyr:

Having had to catalogue films for the place where I worked, before I retired, especially our Spanish language films from Mexico, from scratch, as there was no record of them anywhere on the world wide web, I can tell you all there is a complete process one has to go through for each one, and these films were films on videocassette. (It's been that long ago.) I don't even want to think about what might have to be done to catalogue films that are actually on 16 mm and/or 32 mm film.
