That's cause they will NOT develop those pics down to the local PhotoMart. I know because in college once I took a picture of the Playboy centerfold my roommate had pinned to his wall. When I got the pictures back, not only was the picture conspicuous in its absence, the negative was missing as well.

I suspect is was not shredded, but.... culled.

Yes, it was culled. I've know several people in that business and that's been sop, forever.

Nor at the local Wal-Mart...the husband of another couple that lived in married student housing when I was in grad school loved to get naked when he was drunk. He had a really nice muscular body, so no one really protested too much. One particular night we were all lit up and apparently some very nice frontals were taken with my camera. I dropped the film off for 1 hour at Walmart, and when I got it back there was a little note to the effect of "due to the nature of the subject matter of a paticular photograph(s), it was not printed per our really anal rules and regulations." However the negative was there, and yes, I still have it

*reminiscing* Now, I know that the 1 hour machine just develops them and spits them out. You can sit and watch people's film as it goes by at ours while you are waiting in line. So someone had to have been going thru the pics and pulled it. I am still dying to know where it ended up...

i managed a branch of a national chain of camera stories...(think crackers) and our policy was that if it wasn't illegal it got printed. and we did all of the prints individually for color correction so nothing slipped by us. we had copies of absolutely everything interesting. nothing left the store but we did have a VERY large photo album we kept them in. most of the people in the album were aware of it too. the only problem was every once in a long while you would get a picture of someone and it was obvious that their playmate was not their spouse. it was like "are you freaking stupid??? you cheat AND you take photograpic proof???"
