 Beautiful Photography! Picturesque Film, Memory, Money!!!
 

Artist: Charles Fairbanks

I’m a photographer navigating the passage from film to digital. In the midst of this process, a few rolls of film have accumulated in my desk. When I made these pictures I was really excited about them - I remember being absorbed in the scene, carefully composing and exposing the photos to capture the moments I wanted, anticipating the pleasure of seeing the world before me framed on color-saturated 35mm film.

Now these memories sit end to end, rolled up in their metal canisters, waiting for someone to reveal them. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to process, edit, or even look at the pictures.
So, now you have the opportunity to bid on and possess these fondly captured moments and memories. As I recall, they include a roller derby, a concert, some birds and a road trip, but I’m unsure which experiences are on which rolls. Up for sale are eight rolls of film (sold separately), my memories from taking these pictures (sold together), and the money I make from selling these images and memories (delivered via Paypal)!
