nine lives and old film
« on: November 03, 2011, 08:30:44 PM »
I finally got around to processing that ancient roll of Kodacolor X that came in an old Ilford Sporti mentioned in another thread.

The only image that came out was this one...of a cat.
So I guess cats really do have nine lives!

I processed for 15 minutes @ 60F in paper developer.

Umm, I think, Becky, I think that cat is dead.

it does have a hint of death about it. The cat and the picture. Very strange. Like it.

Maybe the photographer killed him. Maybe he's moved on to people now. Maybe he's a serial killer who started out on cats (they say serial killers start out on animals). Maybe that camera is the key piece of evidence to solving a murder mystery.

Or maybe this is just what cat owners did before they invented YouTube.

maybe I should send that camera back to the UK.....?

I was thinking the cat looked like it was sunbathing.

If you mean 'drying out' because it's just been fished out of the koi pond ...

It's just jumping over dandelions on its side like in an old 8bit video game  ;D

I thought it was dead at first as well but i guess it was just sun bathing...

We had 3 found films in the past few days with some rather interesting discoveries:

-Oysters
-Fiat 1800
-Parrot
-Dead/sun bathing cat
 :P :P

I'm thinking that film belonged to Eric Idle.
