Photoville Assignment – Samantha Martiny
“Lost Rolls America” is an exhibit curated by Ron Haviv, Robert Peacock, Lauren Walsh, and Roger Gorman. Their aim was simply this; to publish and develop forgotten film from people’s pasts. Their stories showcase poignant memories that often recall a yearning for the past, and a nostalgic flair was brought to life in this exhibit with the utilization of the R.V, amongst other various items, such as 35 mm cameras and record players. Photojournalist Ron Haviv explained to my boyfriend and I that he takes submissions on the website, if interested, on thelostrolls.com. It is an ongoing project that has spanned over the course of 6 months, and it is still being curated to this day. Fujifilm North America will scan and develop your images free of charge, and a short description of the selected images is needed to be in the book of photos that Haviv plans to publish later this year.
