Roll log 2025
📌 TL;DR / Quick Summary <div style="background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); border: 1px dashed rgba(255,255,255,0.2); padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7); margin-bottom: 30px;"> One line per roll for the year: when it went into the camera, where it went, when the scans came back from 🛒 Halide, and how many of the 36 frames I would show another person. Fourteen rolls, which is one a month plus the trips, minus July. Kept for 🪁 Film photography because by March I can never remember what is on a roll, and the answer is usually the cat. </div>

The year in one sum: 94 keepers from 13 developed rolls, a little over seven a roll. Roll 10 is the best I have shot. Roll 2 is February.
- Rolls 5 to 7 are ✈️ Lisbon and Sintra in May: three rolls in eight days, 26 keepers.
- Rolls 9 and 10 are ✈️ Slovenia in late August. Noor on the jetty is frame 31 of roll 10 and it is on the fridge.
- Roll 8 sat in the camera for seven weeks. There is no July roll. I looked at the camera most days and did not pick it up, which is as good a description of July as any.
⚠️ Key Warnings / Constraints
- A keeper is a frame I would show someone, not a frame that came out. The second number would be kinder and tell me nothing.
- Scans take five working days. Trips go in together so that I see them in order.
- Roll 14 has Mum on the river path without her stick on it, I think at frame 9. Do not open the back to check.
