Using up all my film, paper and chemicals----------not me

& not him

Suddenly the state of my freezer doesn't seem so OCD.

An old internet adage: The answer to the question 'Am I the only one who...?' is always 'No.'

I can’t relate to this kind of thing.

I am still buying

I expect inflation

Well, these are not durable goods, so prepping for some possible future doesn’t make all that much sense.

It's a fine line between " not enough" and "too much". :)

This morning I got my combined gas and electric bill, an hour later it was up 20%

Some film lasts very well

I buy on schedule

for years

year in

& out

Don't misuse 'prepping'

please

Film, paper and chemicals all go bad if not used. I never understood why buy more than one needs. I throw out so much spoiled stuff already. For me it is more economical to buy the paper, film and chemicals just before I need them. Usually shipped to me in just a few days.

I don't have a lot of film in my freezer, maybe a year's worth, but my problem is I shoot so many formats. Off the top of my head there's 127, 35mm, 120, 9x12, 4x5 5x7, and 8x10. Oops, forgot half plate. The second problem is I haven't been shooting a whole lot of film the past two years but instead have been concentrating on wet plate. I've been shooting film when it gets way too cold for wet plate, mostly.

My stash of FROZEN Ektar 25 and Agfapan 25 has held up perfectly over the years. I'm glad I stocked up. And since I mix most of my chemicals from raw stuff, I have no problem -- plus, I got most of the stuff from the local University for free. They don't want to pay to have it disposed. How about a pound of silver nitrate crystals for free? So of course I find space.
