You would be surprised how many people love collecting old Photographs, even if they have nothing to do with them. There is a quote (I can't remember who it's by) about how there are too many photographs in the world and we should start reusing the ones already made.

Just don't mix them up with your family pictures... you don't want to suddenly be family with some Harold from Possum Lake ;)

Film is the vinyl record of photography.
