This week is the second of three “found film” Friday posts in which I’m sharing film that was found (by someone else) in a storage unit in Worcester, Massachusetts. The first post, last week, was a 110 cartridge from what appeared to be a young girl’s first camera. I decided her name was “Hannah”, although the clue for that doesn’t appear until this week’s roll, in which she appears to be celebrating her tenth birthday!
The film is a roll of ordinary Kodak 35mm film. Like the previous roll, it was never developed, so Mom and Dad have no record of that magical tenth birthday. I think it serves them right, for having failed to develop Hannah’s 110 film, possibly having failed to nurture a hidden talent that would one day lead to greatness.
For Hannah’s tenth birthday, she chose a Tweety theme. But she also likes unicorns. And mom and dad let her hang unicorn posters in the dining room. For the party, anyway. Maybe all the time!
She also likes horses.
Hannah invited her best friends to her party. There’s this girl, posing in front of the 2-liter generic soda our moms all used to get when a dozen kids were coming over for a party:
And this girl:
Here they are again, with (probably) Dad in the background:
Here, let’s get a closer look at that guy.
And of course there were also grownups at the party.
All in all, it looks like Hannah had a pretty good time. Unfortunately, unless she reads my blog, she’ll have to rely on memory to recall her tenth birthday party.
By the way, there were two other photos on the roll, one of which told me this roll is from the late 1990s, or maybe 2000.
