Mixing Film w/Food in a Freezer

[Roger Thoms]

My only thought if you must mix your film with food, I'd put the film on the upper shelves and the food on the lower shelves. That way if the freezer fails the food won't drip all over the film. i ziplock bag all the film and paper I have in the freezer. The nice thing too, is that if you need more room for film, a few meals should solve the problem.

you can afford to eat AND shoot large format?

Whoever does the food shopping can actually save $ by getting a freezer which will pay for a small amount of electricity and film. Buying food you use when it's on sale rather than at the moment of need, cooking larger batches and freezing extra, etc..

My freezer is 4/5 filled with film, Azo, and Lodima. 1/5 is left over for food. All the food is in single-serving ziplock bags, and each type of food has its bags in a gallon ziplock. Double protection, not to mention extreme convenience.

I will not allow the power to go out for long enough to cause a problem.

Whenever the wife is pissed at me for something she brings up the film in the freezer and I can only say sorry or something.

ALmost all the film in the freezer is in water tight plastic tubes and most of it is on the top shelf. The easy solution to having to share it with the spouse is to have her a photographer too. As an additonal bonus when I see a real neat pinhole or toy camera I get to buy it as a gift for her and she is happy.

I was looking in the garage refrigerator yesterday. The freezer has 60% film, 40 % food. The refrigerator part is about 50 - 50. I try and save some space for my beer. Nothing worse than warm beer.

I only make one food exception for the film space in my freezer. That would be green chile from New Mexico.

Thanks for reminding me, my supply from Hatch Chile express is running low. My freezer is some food, in the back, film and New Mexican green chile.

I bought plastic storage tubs with tops and put the film in there, then into the freezer. Not worried about power outages or leaking food containers: the film and paper are safe!
