I was thinking about expired film b/c Lance Oppenheim’s excellent but highly stylized REN FAIRE is clearly meant to resemble, say, Fuji Pro800Z that’s been sitting in a closet for ten years. And here’s Dante Stella with a really nice riff on the subject

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; It seemed that way would progress the plot, And so I went down the other first And opened the chest that I found there

I held out a very long time insisting on doing my book copyedits on paper, and it is with deep reluctance that I now use track changes like everyone else. BUT I will say that I'm glad copyeditors can now use emojis and I can use them back. "STET comma splice 😘"
