A pretty cool story. See if you know who owns this film 🙂

Reminds me of a French Canadian alpinist who found a camera on the Everest (I cannot remember if it was not on a dead body actually) and he found the family of the guy in Lithuania or another of the Baltic states to give them the pictures. The guy was either dead or had disapeared. Anyways, the Canadian guy did not make it to the top due to weather and whatever else convinces you not to go forward, and he went out of the beaten track, I think he got attracted by the Down coat of the guy and found the camera. Everest climbers do not go out of their path for a dead body each breath is calculated… Anyways it was a true weird story.
In his recreation vid, does the film he finds look like Kodak?
And I like that I am now a pro photographer, I use HP5+ all the time!
Viral Marketing by Ilford for their HP5, maybe?
not much of a mention though for that, so i dont think so.
We haven’t seen Part III yet…
Eric doesn’t need to be a big mention. A famous viral marketing thing for these shoes was based around waking on water. The shoes were shown for less time than the HP5 here was…
Done Nicely!
very cool pictures, and he is a good narrator. Wether its fake or not we will never know but its very neat, and if not fake you would assume only a matter of time now.. most of the world is bat shit for youtube.
The same guy posted Part II to this video just a few days ago –

It is quite cool! Doubt a SD card would generate the same film 😉
The guy himself is the owner. It’s a hoax; a friendly one, though.
I thought that may be the case…but it was fun anyway 🙂
Did you catch that Leica is saying it was film lost from a rangefinder… not sure how I feel about that.
Greg, when did it come out as a hoax?
Cool story indeed! But it instantly reminds me of Vivian Mayer story, and it seems to be a cheap knock off? Dunno maybe I’m wrong but thats the feeling it gives me…
