<p>There are a few similar type projects where "found film" is developed and then put on the web or displayed. While I like the idea, I do wonder how the projects are different from a "found shoebox" full of old photos. What is it about undeveloped film that makes the project more significant than going through someones images that have been developed and put in a closet for a generation? </p>

That thosr pictures pur in a shoebox are already been

seen by someone, instead those still on film under the

form of a latent image no?

<p>In addition, the fact that the latent image survived so long. </p>

<p>I have a few times noticed old exposed film on eBay sell for more than old unexposed film.</p>

<p>Some people seem very interested in this.</p>
