developing film

Tokyo, 2009.03.05

I've hit upon a really good film developer in Tokyo. It's the DPE part of the multi-block Yodobashi headquarters in Shinjuku. They do a roll of 36 black and white exposures for $4 in two days, which is both the best price and best turnaround I've found in the city.

And they take points! Having bought various household goods in addition to the film I'm developing, I've got a bank of points that I can use to develop my "one roll a week". Now if only if that store were close enough to be at all worth the trip after I'm no longer coming to Shinjuku for classes....

Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.
