***So as mentioned this film was processed and scanned by Target. As photographers know, taking film to consumer grade labs can be risky, but in the two years I've lived in Frederick my Target lab techs have taken very good care of me so I've continually entrusted them with my work and enjoyed shooting more due to the low prices. However, while organizing my negatives, I found that the roll this shot is on was missing and was switched with someone else's film. I was profoundly upset and feeling somewhat hopeless about film and photography in general. However, after talking with two awesome lab techs, they managed to track down my missing roll of film, many hours after I discovered the error. Somehow my film has made it from Maryland to North Carolina! But it's safe and sound and the other photographer will be mailing my film back to my local Target lab and they theirs. Every lab can make mistakes but only dedicated folks will go so far to help their customers. While frustrating and temporarily annoying, this experience has strengthened my love for film and the need to communicate with our labs to make good stuff happen.
