Almost 4 billion analog shots taken in 2011. Guess I can do my part to increase that number.

I'm thinking of telling the next person that film is now so rare that you have to fight people for the remaining stock in underground photography arenas. "See this roll of Kodak Gold? Two broken ribs. I've seen a man die for a five pack of Polaroid 600."

I'm doing my best to use all the film in my freezer and I can't seem to get to the last roll because I keep ordering more.
