I just threw away four rolls of film, including a roll of Fuji Sensia slide film, which is a gorgeous transparency film if you need to shoot slides. And probably half a 100 box of Kodak Supra Endura color printing paper.
All these were over five years old, and though they were kept in my fridge, there is a limit. The color paper definitely has a fixed life, it had already started to fog purple. I don't know if I'll ever work in a darkroom again, and I don't know if I even should if I could having an immunodeficiency. And I needed a place to put my Mountain Dew Throwback.
I always wanted a darkroom of my own, with a nice Besseler 4x5 enlarger with a cold light head. The 23C is a great enlarger, but I really like the motorized carriage and I always wanted to shoot 4x5. I turned 50 last year, it hasn't happened yet so it's probably not going to happen at all.
I still have my film cameras: three Canon Eos 35mm bodies, a 4x5 press camera, a Yashica 6x6cm, and some miscellaneous stuff. They're effectively worthless, or at least far less than I'd be willing to sell them for.
I love photography, and I shoot pretty regularly, but I imagine that everything for me will be digital and Photoshop from now on.
