April Film DIY

Recycle 35mm film canisters

-----------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of different ways to reuse and recycle 35mm film canisters

One: Storage and Organization!

Use these little organizers to store all of your little things you hate losing. For example...

Memory Cards

Phone-ography lenses

Other ideas include

Safety Pins

Sewing kit

Bobby pins

Push pins

Small screws and nuts

Rubber bands

Guitar Picks

and lastly...

Quarters!

Exactly six dollars in quarters fits in a 35mm film canister.

Use them to keep track of your college and/or thrift store fund

(like we do)

Two: On a less serious note

 BOWLING.

FILM NEWS: Fujifilm to Raise Film Prices

As of April 2013, Fujifilm will raise their prices on all photographic films. This includes Color Negative Film, Color Reversal Film, Black and White Film and Quick Snap. This is in spite of the price rise implemented in May 2012. The press release even is worded almost identically to the once posted last May. They have said the change is due to a decreasing demand for film, so here's some advice to stop that common misconception. 

Advice from A.R. :

• SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!
• Tell EVERYONE about film, and it superiority in the photography world.
• Start a film photography club.
• Get friends that shoot digital to try film out.
• Most of all, keep buying film. Not just from Fuji, but from Kodak, Lomography, Ilford, and others. 

The only way we can keep the film market alive and healthy, is feeding it. Keep buying film, and tell everyone you know, about the wonders of film.
