Great story. On a similar note but not quite on that level I've been helping the local hospice sorting department last year and they allowed me to take home any part exposed rolls of film. Even if colour I ran them through D76 to keep the Ģ down and have some intriguing images. When I can scan them I'll upload a few.

I am rather puzzled by this. It is presented as a new story, but there was a wonderful documentary on tv a year or two ago about all this, and lots of photographs on the website of the discoverer of this brilliant unknown photographer.

Itīs a shame that she didnīt get the honour she surely deserved during her lifetime!
She was a great street photographer!
I love her work!

when you look at her work you realise how good black and white photography is and how a lot of photographs work better in b/w as apposed to colour, this is why I love b/w so much ...
I have been looking around on the internet at her work and a lot of her pictures are a pleasure to look at .....a great lady

How does one go about processing colour film in D76/ID11. Many years ago someone told me it could be done but I never tried. Instead I gave away all my unwanted colour film to a friend who had free access to a C41 machine.

I've done it a few times over the years for both myself and various people = usually with old colour films and with a curiosity of what's on them (films found at the back of draws etc). This is usually done in b/w chemicals as only a few places will attempt to develop some of the really old films with antique processing chemicals = usually at a cost that most people don't feel worth paying.

If done for someone else it has to be explained that there might not be anything on the film at the end of the process though and even if there is not to expect too much in quality terms.

One basically just develops the colour film as a black and white film (bit of an averaging on the developing time here) and you end up with a negative that is 'printable' but has a deep orange to brown base colour to the negs.

I have always had to use a grade 5 to get a half decent print from the negatives.
