Not the sort of thing you want to see in a supermarket photo booth when you’re printing out naked pics of yourself.

Two recent graduates from Kingston university, UK, decided to swallow some 35mm film for their final project, let it pass through their bodies and then develop them.

The results are incredible!

This is the earliest photo of me. On the back it says ‘Sam, 4 days old’. I’ve got a feeling there’s going to be a few more pictures taken of the little boy inside Bev’s tummy.

This morning my father returned home from a carboot sale bearing a camera in a box for me. He knows I like my weird photographic things and went out on a limb, hoping I’d like it.

It was a boxed Kodamatic 950 instant film camera by Kodak. Made a good three decades ago and pretty much redundant today because Polaroid filed a law suit claiming infringement of copyright meaning the film that it took could no longer be sold. However, when I looked on the back, I saw it had 5 film left in it.

In my hurry, I installed 4 new AA batteries and walked into my father’s office to test it out. Sure enough the light on the camera still flashed and a film popped out of the bottom and started to develop. Sadly the film was far too expired to reveal any detail. So I put it to one side.

As the day got brighter I kept thinking about the camera. It still had 4 film left in it. Instant film, no longer made, practically illegal and from a company that’s slowly ceasing to exist. What if the front film I took of my Dad had somehow been exposed in the twenty odd years it had sat there? I took the camera outside, stood in the sun and took a portrait shot of myself with the exposure setting set to bright (lighter) and the flash on! To my amazement, the next film that came out, the 4th left, still had a bit of detail!

The pictures above show a straight scan, then an edited version where I have cropped in on the image and brightened the picture revealing the detail of my face and the trees behind. It might not be much, but I find this amazing.

What do I do with the other three film left in the camera? Do I sell it as a set so someone more creative or artistic can use it or do I wait for a special occasion?

Several years ago a photographer friend of mine, Sami Kelsh commented on my never-ending fascination with the upper section of the female endowment. In a to and throe conversation of appreciation, Sami told me that she could see why all men loved breasts. They are after all ‘the giver of…
