Time Capsule Discovered

So we spent this last weekend cleaning and organizing some closets in our house. Throughout the course of the day John discovered a veritable time capsule--an entire Tupperware container of undeveloped film. Now this really was a blast from the past because let's face it, who uses film cameras anymore? So I headed down to the 1-Hour photo place at Sam's Club to see what was hidden in those little plastic canisters. It was weird having to wait for an hour, and it seemed horribly backwards, but c'est la vie. It was like opening a time capsule when we started to look through the stacks of lost pictures. What we came across was one of the tackiest photos we have ever seen, starring us. Here's the story: We went to a friend's wedding, and they wanted us to take a picture with them. I'm assuming the end result the photographer was looking for was a shot of the bride and groom sharing a kiss, and us, the supportive couple, looking on admiringly. However, when the photog got ready to shoot the picture, he said "Now go ahead and kiss," and we assumed he was addressing all of us, so John laid a big fat kiss on me. The funny thing was that the bride and groom actually didn't kiss and just stared into space. So now we have a picture of us making out at our friends wedding while they look bewildered. In the photo below we have blurred the faces of the innocent.


We also found one other gem, in which I look like a refugee and John looks like a Sith Lord. The ironic thing this was supposed to be a historic photo because it was taken at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake. At the time the picture was taken, I was hoping for something a little more classic. In our defense, it was about 10 degrees below zero. So here is our historic Olympic portrait:


We also found a lot of cool landscape and underwater shots that we took years ago, so it was just kind of a fun discovery. If you ever run across old film, always develop it! You never know what you might find :)
