How to shop.
Last night's mad scramble for tungsten-balanced slide film made my stomach tumble, I mean, when was the last time you spent $12 for a single roll of film!? Eh? And when someone says, "Well this film's no longer in production," &c. insert line of crap here, no way should you take that at face value. I repeat: No way. What happens next is something quite unheard of. Yt shooting in 35mm. Say again? Because the "only film available" was 35mm t-b slide film, here you go (as I'm shaking my head), last night's studio shoot - all in the name of higher learning! gag! - was less than spectacular. Laughable. Comedy of errors? Definition. Insert my sad mug here. But it can't be true that t-b slide film wot? this or that - is defunct, that an essential part of photography (even in the digital age) no longer exists?
So this is what you do: Get up early in the morning, or soonest as you can really. Fire up the ol' internets and do a smart search. See it? Where it says Same Day Availability right there? Hop on chat and ask your dearest sister Nankin if you've change in the cookie jar for the film you so desperately need to shoot the next class assignment. Click on email and there it is, order receipt and shipping confirmation. Relax. Resume breathing. Is it too soon to put up the Life is good! banner? In other news, my littlest sib Chermovsky is getting into GnR. Again? you say. Must admit that the latest album - technically Axl's solo project - is, how did that review go? Lackluster, boring, tepid, boring as a sack of week-old potatos. Did I already say boring? Yt's fave album will of course, always be Appetite for Destruction. Baybeh.
