Vintage Photographs

[hoarsewhisperer]

Have been looking at these vintage photos. If you are into nostalgia check out this site; A guy who collects vintage cameras and many of them still have unprocessed film inside when he finds them. He has figured out a way to process the film without degrading it and has posted the scans on his site. If you click on each picture it will link you to the other photos from that roll and show information about the camera and where it was found.

in case you missed it, if you click on the pictures, there are more pictures from that particular roll of film....and the editor's comments are very imaginative I spent quite a bit of time on this site...glad you enjoyed

I saw those, too. The editor definitely spent a lot of time with this project. I hope he continues to add to the on-line collection when he finds new (old) cameras. One of the exes' ( ) family had an old Brownie that still had film in it. Unfortunately, nobody thought to take it to a camera specialist to see if the pics could be saved. Don't know what they ever did with it. Prolly would have been 'keepers' in it. Great find! Thanks again for sharing!

I've got an old camera I got at a garage sale. Don't remember exactly what it is, but it's a green Kodak. One of those accordian style ones. It's got a roll of film in it, that i think has been exposed. Anyone know of a good place to get it developed, to see if there's anything on it. And I was also wondering, if it would be worth more to keep intact, or go ahead and develop it? Any ideas?

I'd either talk to Walgreen's photo people. Or the guy across the street from Wendy's, who has the most experience.

Thanks lurker, I may check them out. Don't know about walgreens though, if there hiring practice is anything like walmarts, I don't think i'd risk it.
