I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered
I took my 35mm camera to California and accidentally ripped my first roll of film while it was still inside the camera 🤦🏻♂️ but my boyfriend saved the day and took the film out using my coat as a dark room, and wrapped it up in a old film wrapper sealed with a water bottle label. I got the film developed and all of the pictures still turned out! They did get exposed to some light though so now all of the pictures turned out kinda dark with some cool light leaks. Happy accidents! I think it makes these images more special.
