When I swapped photos with Dalton a few weeks ago he was kind enough to send along some expired HP5 with his print. It was a win-win situation. He couldn't use the film because it was the wrong format, plus expired. I'm less picky. I'll take any film. I've been using it with good results, and I when I make a nice print from one of its frames I will send it to him to repay the favor.
This arrangement wasn't really planned but it gives me an idea. If anyone out there has film they want to get rid of you can send it to me. I will shoot the film, print my favorite picture from it, and send you the print. It's win-win. You get an exhibition quality mystery photo for virtually nothing. I get film, which to me is like lifeblood.
But this is more than just a business deal. I think there's something karmically charged about sending a roll out into the world, then waiting to see what finds its way back to you from that very roll. If you agree, mail a roll to Blake Andrews, 85528 Christensen Rd., Eugene, OR 97405. I'll get you a print within 3 weeks. If you have any specific requests for the film please include them and I will do my best to accommodate. Keep in mind I am not equipped to shoot underwater or in non-Pacific time zones.
I will accept 35 mm or 120, color or b/w, any speed, any expiration date.

If you send prints also in Italy, think about my roll as on-the-way. :D
time for rolls-rain to reduce volcanic ash effects;]
@Ben, that sounds slightly silly but fun. Email me your address and we'll commence.
@Marco, I'm going to restrict this to the U.S. for now. I may open it up to other countries after I see how the initial response shakes out.
@Madanimator, I don't follow you.
A pity you restrict it to the U.S. only :-( . I'd go with benrobertsphotography proposal. Greetings from Germany, Carsten
Oh, this is just too good to pass up. I'm going to mention it in a couple of other places, too ...but I'm afraid you're going to be swamped with film.
Even chromogenic B&W film?
Sure, any film is ok.
