I was going through a drawer with slides and old prints and found this, I wondered if anyone can help me identify what it was used for. Does it go into a camera somehow? It doesn't fit in the card slot.    The one on the left can in an aluminum can...

One has KODAK on it, . . . . what in . kind of firm is that, something to do with bears I think.

I say keep them......they may be antique and worth ALOT of money!!!!

Are you saying you're worried about Alzheimer's in your old age??? What I'd really be worried about is if you find them and REALLY wonder what they are...

No no wait....I gotta get all mine done first so I can beat the upload process!!!

LOL, this week I just threw a couple of these that were hidden in the fridge door!  But then I still have something called a record collection taking up space too   I think they call it vinyl these days though.

Oh I loved that one......wonder how many people really think like that....

Are we going to see you on an upcoming episode of Hoarders? 

I have lots of those..Oh...nostalgia...  Most of them never became photos. It was too expensive to make photographs in nineties because of crisis in my country, so I was just making negatives. I used to choose only few negatives from every celluloid film to make photos...
We were under embargo...
I hope never again... 

The thing I like about film is that you have a physical object. Those negatives will last a very long time whereas digital will only last as long as there is a hard drive and a server. I have boxes and boxes of them. I rarely print out my pictures since I went digital. I use to but don't hardly do it anymore.

Come back in ten years and tell me about your negatives which have faded and spoiled. Slides that have changed colors. Fungus, heat, dry, humidity, anything that can attack and ruin a negative, slide or print, will. Film and prints are very perishable and fragile.

Meanwhile a digital image will be as fresh and new in 20 years as it is today.

I think the people who claim that there's some hidden time-bomb in digital are missing the truth. It's more durable, easier to back up and time doesn't destroy it. If the technology changes, the digital photos can be easily converted. How about that for old prints which are analog. Sure they have heart and warmth that digital doesn't, but there's no reason for general photography for film to exist. It takes a day or two to send someone a print, it takes two minutes to transmit a digital image.

In favor of analog, there are still some situations where digital just doesn't cut it. Time lapse, long exposures, some astronomy, low light, I'm sure there are more. Film has a place, but mostly it's about as functional as a horse and carriage or a steam boat. The time for film has pretty much passed.
