Bob Dylan makes another comeback, with a little help from ILFORD PHOTO

A film roll containing photographs of Bob Dylan has been unearthed and developed for the first time 31 years after it was exposed, thanks to UK based ILFORD PHOTO. “Try that with a hard drive,” Says photographer.


  • Amazing images of Bob Dylan have been unearthed and developed for the first time 31 years after they were originally taken
  • The pictures are from Dylan’s concert in Austin, Texas in 1978
  • The photographs were taken with ILFORD HP5 black and white film
  • The photographer, Mark Estabrook sought help from ILFORD PHOTO’s technical team when he discovered the film whilst moving home
  • Using ILFORD PHOTO darkroom chemicals, the images have been brought to life in their original glory – with no signs of ageing
  • The quality of the images raises fears over whether digital files will last the test of time, as formats change and storage technology remains untested
