Is film photography dead?
I’m sure it is very much alive…just not here, where I’m from.
These photos were taken a few years ago, while I was still living in Manila. I had been told that in my hometown, they still had those machines that printed from film negatives.
Ironically, they closed down a year before I got back, and the only ones in our area was in a photography shop in Colon area in Cebu.
(Currently looking at places online…will update soonest!)

This is the major problem with film photography nowadays, i guess. In the part of Israel I’m living there are no photolabs either. Solution? Develop film at home and scan.

The task of developing is pretty daunting. I am tempted to just pool all my old film canisters and have them developed in one go in Manila. Developing myself would certainly be too taxing. A shop I saw online offered to put all the composites on a CD and from there, one can pick out what one wants to print.

Well, everyone chooses what’s best for them of course. For me it’s just the only option. Or to go somewhat 400 km north to Tel Aviv just to get them developed.

Thank you, David! 🙂 I’d like to post some more here… this allows more room for thoughts and photo stories.
