Today I took 3 rolls Color (ISO 200, 400, 800) & 1 roll B&W to a small, local camera store to be processed/developed for $7.00/roll. I will scan the negatives. I'll update y'all in a week or so when they arrive.

btw, They do not process the film. They are sending it out, I suspect to Fromex.com (also local), which charges $5.99/roll color or B&W. Fromex offers free postage to their location. By the time one adds all the other charges it was cheaper to take it to the local store.

Go to YouTube and look at the documentary on a photographer by the name of Vivian Maier. I believe the title is "Finding Vivian Maier". You will find that this woman took something like 150,000 shots on film that had not been developed and stored in boxes in a storage facility. Her work was discovered two years before her death, when a young man bought the boxes at an auction. He held on to them two years after buying them, before delving in and researching there origins. He wrote a documentary that won an Academy Award.

15 or 20 years ago a coworker who knew I did my own processing asked me if I'd develop some film he found while cleaning out his fathers attic. Turns out he had 8 rolls of 120 agfa film and I said I'd try it but no promises. All the film developed and from the photos it appears that they were taken by a German soldier (his father was a German soldier and most likely the photographer) and began with photos of the Dunkirk shore, and carried thru across Europe with the last roll of photos taken in the Ukraine in a village called Shitomir (http://www.blackseagr.org/pdfs/konrad/Life%20in%20the%20German%20Villages%20around%20Shitomir.pdf). None of the picture show actual combat, it is mostly photos taken after the battle, showing the occupation of areas, POW's (mostly soviet), interaction between the soldiers and local inhabitants, and just general life of the soldier when not in battle. There are no offensive photos, although there are a few that depict the Nazi emblem. I've posted a few here. If anyone thinks the entire collection (roughly 50 photo's) would be of interest I'll add them with a link to them. The idea is that here is some film (B&W) that was exposed beginning in 1940, stored in an attic for many years and was still able to be developed and printed some 60 years later. I returned the negatives and prints but he permitted me to make scans. The scans aren't great, the actual photos came out much better.

Inquire with the Atlantic, they do a large amount of photo archiving and presenting. Another site you may want to try is Shorpy, a photo intensive site. There are other gov't run site that are always interested in archiving such a treasure trove of pictures.
