Old Camera Film Photos

When I moved out, it gave me a great opportunity to go through all of my old stuff. I got rid of bags and bags of useless crap that I never even looked at but one thing that really caught my attention was an old film camera that I remember from when I was younger. Inside was an old 110 film. I decided to get it developed and see what was on it.

The first issue being - where on earth do you go to even develops film nowadays? A few years ago there were tons of small shops around where you could wait for an hour or so and then go back to collect your photos later once you'd had a mooch around the shops nearby… I remember that David, being the photographer of our relationship, mentioned something about online processing so I checked it out.

Gosh! How blooming expensive! On most sites, it was £6 just to get the film developed (without any actual pictures to show for it) and £10 for a photo CD. Crazy.

Anyway, I went with The Photo Hippo and here are the results.

(Turns out that because the film was SO old it had started to degrade so most of the pics are really grainy.)

My brother when he was a toddler. Awww!

My childhood dog, Pippa. She was a Yorkshire Terrier and reached 16 years old!

My sister and her rag dolls. (circa 1998 ish)

My pirate cat, Rosie. She was a rescue cat from the RSPCA,
sadly she was hit by and car then mauled by dogs not long after this was taken.

I have no idea… I think its a picture of my sleeping bag on the top bunk
in the dorm at How Hill.

How Hill from the outside. - Creepy right?

I think this was the learning centre at How Hill.

So eerie!

Oh and there me when I was about 9 or 10 years old.
It looks like I had a temporary tattoo there. Cool kid.

So yeah, I was quite surprised at what I found on this old film. I sent the pics to my mum and she loved them.

Have you ever found/done a similar thing?
