For a few months now I have had 6 rolls of film which had been used just waiting in this little box I put them in to be developed, and I finally got around to it yesterday! Well, 3 out of 6 rolls were developed. The main reason I had been putting it off was because I didn't know/bother to find out where to get them developed; Kmart and Teds don't develop 120 film. HOWEVER I came across this store called Michael's on the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth St in Melbourne's CBD which did it for me! I just got them to put the prints onto a CD, which was cheaper, and also lets me specifically choose what photos I want printed later on. Here are some of my favourites!

This is an example of double exposure, where one photo is taken on top of another photo in the film. You simply don't wind the film to the next slide.

An example of Melbourne's originality!
I was so worried that I was doing something wrong when taking the photos, so I am super relieved to get shots like these back that make me happy! In the next two days I'll probably go back to Michael's and develop my other 3 rolls, which will hopefully make me smile like these ones do.
The only issue I have with this small hobby of mine is the cost. Buying 3 rolls of 120 film costs between 20-30 bucks, and to get them developed costs about 20-30 bucks per roll. (Getting them on a CD costs about 15-18 bucks). All in all this means each photo costs me around $2, so this is quite an expensive past time for a 17 year old!
Although in saying that I will buy another 6 rolls of film for this upcoming summer!
