Hello all,
I'm going to France in a couple weeks and taking lots of film. What
I've read to do is unwrap each roll of film as much as possible - ie,
take it out of the little cardboard box or plastic canister - and put
the film a clear plastic baggie. Then take it out of your carry-on
(carry-on is all I'm taking) and ask that it be hand-checked. My
color film is 400 speed, but my black and white is 100. From what
I've read here, I think I'll mix up the color and black and white so
it will be easier for them to decide to hand-check it all. Good idea?
It will be trickier on the return trip as the b/w film will be used
in a Holga, which doesn't wind the film very tightly, so I need to
put it in a light-tight bag as soon as I unload it from the camera.
Thus it won't be visable for airport scrutiny.
Also -- if anyone knows of any good photo shows and galleries in
Paris or Avignon or Aix-en-Provence, please let me know.
Thanks,
Sally Bowker
