Well now I feel underprepared…

I only have 15 rolls of Efke KB25 in the fridge. No room for anything else with the food for survival and all. Two bulk rolls of HP5 and one of Kentmere 100 in the basement, they’ll get used up faster. And of course the random assortment of “I should try this film” film that I haven’t got around to trying yet.

Must buy more film.

During the Covid 19 pandemic lock down I bought a huge silver / grey fridge freezer that's about 6ft seven inches tall, we call "the zeppelin", it was purchased mainly to store more frozen food, and avoid shopping, I have about 120 rolls of colour negative 135 film in it mainly Fuji Reala and 160 Pro, , Kodak portray 160 and 400.

And Cosmic rays? They go through refrigerators and freezers, so unless you have a decommissioned underground mine at your disposal, there is nothing you can do about them.

Radon gas in the mine might do more harm than cosmic rays. Sigh.

Hoo boy... I off-loaded a bunch of 35mm color film last year... Almost all of my refrigerated film is 120, which I just don't shoot that often.

40 rolls of E100GX
20 rolls of the original Acros
a couple hundred feet of Pan F+
There's a few others, but I'm not getting off this chair to go look.
As for what's scattered around the basement, it's b&w, and it's expired.
270m of Polypan F
3 Lloyds Lloaders with I don't remember what
prolly 20+ rolls of TMAX 400
several rolls of miscellaneous 120 films. I find more every time I pick up a box looking for something else.

I used to have a BUNCH of b&w films in the fridge, until the pandemic hit. They were transferred to the basement to make room for emergency food supplies.

What's all this about food? Surely that's why we have restaurants and doordash. Fridges are for film.

I have a box of 4x5 Polaroid b&w in the bottom of my fridge. I don't know how it tastes.

About a third of my fridge (not freezer section) is film. From Tech Pan in 120 (and some 4x5), up to Ilford FP4+ 11x14. Lots of 5x7 film -- some I know is most likely toast, like the box of Ilford Special Portrait Film 124 and a unopened box of 100 sheets of Super XX (1974), but a lot of good stuff, too, but the sources and storage of the older stuff have been all over the place, so testing is needed before committing a box to a project/expedition.

But I seem to have full and/or partial boxes of film all over the place -- to my left is a box of Kodak Copy film and one of FP4+ (both 8x10), for some reason a full box of 50 shts of 5x7 320TXP (12/2013), and then several full boxes of 11x14 HP5+ that I did not have room in the fridge for (on the floor where is keeps the coolest).

I've been pulling some of my oldest stock forward and using it. So far ( 20 years + old ) it has shot and developed fine with no exposure or development adjustments.

Now, if someone were to really analyze the film, could you detect a loss or shift..... To my eyes it looks fine and for me, that's all that really matters.

I've been using the old stock to see how stingy I can get with chemical usage and processing.

Rather than taking a photo of the freezer, let me show a spreadsheet

Got 1000ft of Agfa APX from Spain before it's replaced by the new emulsion. That's my favorite treasure. Then 400ft Legacy Pro 100 (Fuji Acros) and 100ft Legacy Pro 400 (Fuji Neopan). Sadly they are gone forever.

We did a remodel in 2015, bought a new refrigerator and moved the old bottom freezer into the garage. Mostly it stores soda, water and the freezer is full of vacuum sealed packages. The old vegetable crispers are for film. One has fifty rolls of 135-36 Tri-X the other has twelve packs of Polaroid B&W SX-70.

Unopened 100 ft roll of FP4+, about 60 ft of HP5+ and Kentmere 100. And plenty of red wine. Clearly film has less and less place in my life.

Only two 35mm roll : Washi S and agfaphoto APX 400. The first has been siting here for a year and a half now, it's so contrasty that I kept it for a particular project that I've never done. Thinking abstract high-contrast architecture shots. I don't now if washi films are well-known around here, what do you shoot with "S" ?

As i'm lucky to live at walking distance from a shop with good prices, I tend to buy a couple of rolls regulary, store them on the shelf, and use them in the upcoming weeks. But keeping them in the fridge is still a good idea if the temperature rise way above 20°c in the house like this summer.

You dweebs are amateurs.

My fridge - an open can of Lagunitas Super Cluster, a slice of three day old anchovy, jalapeno and mushroom pizza, half a red pepper and a Lomo 110 Tiger cartridge.

Huss:
The Pizza would be good to put on top of a camera, which you could then use to help design a pin.
