I've been making pictures and doing darkroom work since 1967. I've found and developed old B&W film from garage sales and thrift shops. The most noteworthy picture I've unearthed this way is a shot from the 60's of a boy of about 12 holding what looks like a snake or a large eel. Once I found a virgin roll of Kodak Non-Curling film from the 20's, which I believe I might still have. Right now I have 3 rolls of old C-22-process Kodacolor (1-120, 2-126 "Instamatic"). There are places which develop this kind of film (usually to black-and-white since the color dyes are probably no longer functional), but rather than spending the US$39.00 per roll to have it done, I might just break out the Kodak T-Max developer and Ilford rapidfix and do it myself. Any advice?

Joseph The film used is Agfa Ultraspeed, the fastest film of its time rated 80-160 ASA and coupled with a fast lens made this type of image possible. I do a few found films on my bloghttp://photo-utopia.blogspot.com/
