I have some polaroid photos and was wondering if anyone could tell me when the film was manufactured by these numbers? I know I wont be able to tell when the shots were taken but I am curious as to when the film was made? Anyone I have three photos with these numbers. again these are polaroid photos. 010542032-02 054 2210, 010542032-02 054 2216, 010542032-02 054 2213. Thanks Warren. | ||

I thought Warren was joking about the "If you want positive verificaiton of a photos its 400 bucks per shot" issue. As usual, I didn't follow his link to discover what he was talking about. So, I was joking thinking HE was asking for the money about HIS photos. You've got to be old to follow this twisted logic. Should have kept my mouth shut, but then that's never deterred me before! Glad you found the answer you were seeking, Warren. | ||

Sorry if it looked like a sales pitch, thought if someone else had the same question they could use the service. I should add that the service is of interest to me as I am an investigator. and only a weekend photographer:) | ||

As you can see, the verification only deals with the DATE of the film, not the image itself. With the advent of digitally altered images and computer generated negatives and prints, the use of photography in court has been severely challenged. As always, it comes down to the word of the photographer testifying the photograph offered into evidence correctly represents the scene as he observed it, versus the challenger testifying it does not. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: alecj on 2006-01-05 20:25 ]</font> | ||
