For a long time, photo developing shops have had the option to get your pics done in an hour, removing the need to wait over night, or even the age old three day wait whilst they were sent to somewhere in Leamington Spa and returned by post or carrier pigeon.
I noticed our local pharmacy in Stockwell (although i live in clapham north.. no really) is now offering a 30 minute turnaround on photographs - no doubt charging a fortune for the privilage of getting your photos back in the time it takes to walk next door, buy a vegetable pasty and can of lilt from Gregg's Bakery, eat said items, and return to the Pharmacy and pick up your photos after browsing thru the homeopathic remidies, lucozade bottles and feminie hygene products.
But how do they raise the bar from now on? 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 2 minutes, or what about before you've taken the photos? You go into the devshop, and they hand you a set of images based on where the people in the shop reckon you might have been, or even where you'd have liked to go. There are photos from Mary's party (you don't know a mary, but you'd like to by the looks of her), oh dear.. theres a really embarrasing one of where you could have thrown up in the bathroom, and heh.. don't you potentially look fat in that bikini top.
Quantum film processing.
"Its the way forward.. possibly"
