I had my share of surprise pictures many time through the years but the main reason in my case was I didn't always have the money on hand to have 10 or more roll of vacation pictures developed so I would take in a few at a time. Every once in a while I would forget or misplace a roll. I once found a roll that was in a drawer for several years and had it developed and it was shots of a family vacation trip. We all had a great time with those old pictures and a good laugh. I prefer digital now because I would rather have my pictures right away. I developed my own B&W also for a time but stopped after our second kid was born because there wasn't space for a permanent setup and sealing off the bathroom just got to be too much of a hassle. I still have my film cameras but they don't get used much. True, you do need a computer to view them if you don't make prints but we always have a computer on somewhere in the house and all our photos are backed up on all 3 computers. I find them much more convienent for viewing than searching through many albums and old shoe boxes full of prints. One of my ongoing projects has been scanning all those old photos and putting them on the computers also. I was very slow to embrace digital but since doing so I have no real desire right now to go back to film. I do print my favorite digital pictures and still have photo albums of those prints and lots of pictures in frames all over the house because I do like a printed photo but most viewing is done on the computers.
