Light is not your problem
35 mm film why have you betrayed me?
I did everything right, loaded the film correctly, used a specific lens, made lighting adjustments including shooting at specific times of day, was conservative and compositionally aware with this roll of film, I took a gentle approach with my subjects, I did everything right to guarantee I was going to get some bitchin shots. Only to find out, the film I used had already been exposed to light before I even put it in my camera, thus making every exposure blank.
In a drawer filled with rolls of 35mm film both never-been-used-brand-spanking-new and dont-ever-use-this-it’s-been-accidentally-exposed-throw-this-away, organization is key. that’s the last straw, I’m buying a labeler.
