Yet another amazing product from Photojojo: A thumb drive made from a used film cartridge. It holds way more than 24 photos, and there’s no charge for developing them. I love living in the future!

Photojojo is selling a three-pack of ye olde 35mm film. This includes “One high-speed color film, one crazy sepia-toned monochrome, and one full of dreamy rainbow lens flares.”  You’ll get about 100 pictures for your $50 investment. Nostalgia sure ain’t cheap!

Unplggd has some fun ideas of things you can do with used film containers. In my youth, they were good for organizing small stuff in drawers. We used them to store baby teeth, beads, seeds, nails, and marijuana. But I haven’t used a film container for anything in years. Maybe that’s why my drawers are now such a mess!

Can’t get the old film that you want? Check out how one wily photographer made a machine to produce his own Kodachrome film.

Converstion with Dandara, my 8-year-old niece, while we are looking at an illustration in OBSOLETE. The drawing is of a roll of 35mm film.

Me: What are these things in the picture?

Dandara: It's tape. Like from a tape recorder.

Me: Yeah? Tell me more.

Dandara: It's coming out. It's like when you take pictures there used to be tape. Or something.

Me: You sure that's what it is?

Dandara: Well, I don't know. Maybe it's a battery.

Ars Longa, Vita Brevis is Latin for “Life is short, art is long—a fitting sentiment to have wrapped around an old film camera.
