Roll Tape

December 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Roll Tape!

You’ve just finished a roll of Kodak 120 film. You pop open your camera, take out the roll, you reach for the roll of tape on your desk to seal it up while it waits to be processed. Except for me, I’m always out somewhere where there’s no tape dispenser.

I don’t know why Kodak rolls don’t give you a sticker, Fuji rolls finish up with a sticker. That’s cool. Kodak leaves you to fend for yourself.

I knew all this before today. But, when I went out to 7-11, but impulsively jumped on the metro to head downtown instead to shoot, I didn’t have anything resembling foresight. And, of course along the way I finished a roll of Kodak 160NC and took it out of the camera. I didn’t want it rolling around loose in my bag. But, I didn’t have any tape!

Or, did I.

When my wallet was stolen earlier this month, I decided to roll my own gaffer tape wallet. And, so I realized I could take out my wallet, tear off a small strip of the miracle restickable tape.

Done and done.
