Here are 71 rolls of black-and-white film waiting to be developed. At least two rolls go back to 1977 (how do you spell "procrastination"?).

The two yellow film cassetes are store-bought rolls of Kodak Tri-X film. The remaining cassettes were filled by me using a Watson bulk film loader filled with a 100-foot-long roll of film (Tri-X or Plus-X), and re-usable film cassettes.

With an eight-reel developing tank, it will take at least nine deveolping sessions to process all the rolls. What forgotten events and scenes will be revealed? When will the images get converted to digital? My mouth waters at the prospect of seeing these ancient pictures.
