Another Win for Film Photography

Photograph of Bob Dylan Copyright © Mark EstabrookTake a close look at this photo of Bob Dylan. Seems normal.. right?

The amazing answer is yes, it is a normal photograph taken in 1978.  The amazing part is that it was developed just a few weeks ago.  The film had been sitting at room temperature in the photographer’s house.  It was found while he was preparing to move.

When the film was developed, there was very little to no degradation of the image, amazing considering it is 31 years old.

Let’s see digital match that.
