dude, i can imagine the disappointment. that learning curve with film was pretty steep, especially when u had no cashola. i was too young to be traveling much with undeveloped rolls, but for sure remember the disposable trend and protecting them on vacation! always got ours developed before we went home, haha!
oh how mad i would get when first learning to shoot film tho. i can’t tell you how many rolls i ruined because i either forget to rewind it , or somehow rewound it wrong, or thought i was shooting an entire roll only to actually remember to rewind it and realized it never caught the teeth on the spindle. oh my god, how frustrating photography was as a beginner. orchids is easy peasy compared to that
