Over the last two years I have been on a hunt for every single photograph either taken of me, or by me, between the ages of 1 and 21. There are not that many at all! But I've come across a few treasures that I didn't even know I had, like an undeveloped roll of 110 in an old camera I used when I was 12, and an undeveloped Fuji disc film! When the 110 cartridge was developed, I had some very faded photos of the house I grew up in and my best friend at the time, so I was incredibly happy with that. The disc film is still yet to be developed, as there is nothing in Australia that can handle it, and there are only a couple of places advertising such services online.
But I also found a sheaf of photos I took of friends at school when I was 13, and the prints have held up pretty well over the years. I intend to scan and enhance them very soon, along with a few others that were taken for me when I was 17. It's funny that the absolute glut of digital photos I have taken over the last ten years give me pleasure, but the printed photos from the pre digital days make me squeal with delight. I can count on one hand the number of prints I have made of my digital photographs, interestingly. I'm quite happy to view them on a monitor and regularly back them up to larger and better storage media, and store copies in separate locations. In the future I'll have a number of photos printed, but at the moment I'm still deciding which will be the ones!
