Stu took off early to see Kruger National Park before heading back to Australia. Spent the morning playing with my new camera. Joy and I went to Sandton City - reportedly the best mall in Johannesburg. I Handed over a random roll of film to be developed at a photo lab at the mall. Went and saw the new Jackie Chan movie, Rush Hour (pretty good). After the film went to pick up my film - quite a shock, the negatives are black, the film was completely exposed.
I looked up the roll in my journal and it's from Morocco. There are a couple possibilities, something wrong with the film or something wrong with my camera. If something was wrong with the film (or the developer screwed up), then I lost one roll and that's bad, but the other possibilities are something ruined the film (X-rays? Heat?) or the camera is broken - either means I've lost the last four months of photos - nearly 500 frames in twelve countries. I bought a fresh roll of film that I'll run through the camera and tomorrow I'll develop it and another roll to find out. Right now I'm very scared.
Joy and I went by the hospital to visit Dean, but he was asleep. Went back to our pub for diner, cards, and pool. Then off to see the late showing (yes, the second movie of the day) of Rounders - it was excellent.
