Photographer’s 3,200 Undeveloped Film Rolls Hold History of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Interesting. It's unbelievable to me that anyone would take pictures and not feel a need to see how they turned out.

Just saw that on a different site. Those rolls hold previously unseen/unpublished images of some of this icons of the music scene of that era, yet without those images, we still have a pretty good idea of the "history of Rock 'n roll". One plus for waiting until now is that no paper has to wasted on seeing how those photos turn out; just process and scan. Gleaning the best from 100,000 images on someone's computer will be a lot easier and cheaper than trying to get them all printed, then sorting through them, had he done it back in the day...

Is that a way of saying, a subject need only be discussed once on UHH? Just supply a link to a prior conversation and be done with it.
I've been a UHH member for a few years now and I've seen this, once and done with, attitude fairly often. As if there is a core membership that decides what others may have conversations about. Hmmmm, interesting concept...

You're being a bit too hard on the respondant. I assumed he was just trying to point the OP to additional info in the previous thread of less than 2 weeks aga.

Here is some more discussion of this unprocessed film. After so much time it appears likely that there will be some image quality falloff.

I can understand where one might think that, rmorrison. In this case, it was not my intention. Still, I get what you're saying. No harm, no foul. Pax vobiscum.

No only that, but you wonder how much would have survived had they been printed back then.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those once and done with folks. I'm a firm believer that not every member has read or participated in every conversation and duplicate topics spring up all the time. If people want to discuss something that others have already discussed, so be it. After all, on this type of social media, it's all about the conversation.

If the film had been developed, there is the very real chance that the images would never have had the opportunity to be seen by the public at large. I see this as a real opportunity for some entity such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to step in and preserve this collection which could serve as a significant record of one aspect of modern American culture.

There is a link to the Gofundme page in the first article. Looks like he raised 50K already. Maybe we will all see those images soon.

Thanks. I think that this is a body of work that is worth preserving.

I took the reference as an affirmation of interest in the topic, since the prior post included several images from the cache.
