anticipation.

there is something about the feeling of waiting in anticipation. Something about dropping off a roll of film and waiting for it to be developed. Something about holding the tiny envelope package and opening it to discover what's inside. Or something about putting the negatives in the developper and waiting while you shake the tumbler, hoping that the negatives will turn out. Or burning a contact sheet.

There's something about waiting in the unknown that is magical.

Also, what's a "contact sheet"? Nm - I'll Wiki it.

Wait, burning a contact sheet doesn't actually involve flames, right?
