Very old black and white photo. Foggy and spotted, with markings from the backing paper showing, you can barely make out some people in old fashioned clothes and hairdos.Very old black and white photo.

A few brave little silver molcules, hanging on for dear life, trying to preserve a latent image through the decades...

You can almost make out some images but they are almost too foggy to be useful. #filmisnotdead #shootfilmbenice #foundfilm

Part of a black and white medium format film. The frames are barely discernible.

The wife picked up a couple of free Agfa boxes from the grab bin at the local camera store. At a cursory glance they seem to be in working order and one even had a roll of Perutz 21 on the uptake spool. Threw that in some Rodinal 1:100. Wish me luck.

Folluw up: I developed the ancient roll of 120 film I found in the Goodwill Mamiya and found four, faint, nearly identical, images all taken out of the same window. Very faint, heavily fogged on the edges (who knows how many times this camera was opened up over the years with that roll in there). Not exactly the most exciting find but thus ends the mystery of the undeveloped film from

The only thing better than getting a fully functional, clean, vintage TLR at Goodwill is discovering that it contains a roll of exposed film that has never been developed! Woot! Heating up my C-41 chemistry right now, fingers crossed for something interesting to develop! #foundfilm #filmphotography #mystery #120film #mamiya #mediumformatphotography

I sometimes buy old used single-use cameras so I can develop the film inside. Here are some #foundfilm scans from a recent-ish batch with expiration dates of 15-25 years ago. #filmphotography #throwback #photography #expiredfilm

Another from the #FoundFilm file. This picture was mounted in Sarnia, #Ontario in 1890. I have no idea who any of these people are.

A family portrait. An older man in suit and tie, I assume the patriarch, is seated on the left. He is a bit bald and has a beard of a couple of inches but it looks mostly from under his bottom jaw. Maybe this was a power look at the time. He is supporting what might be his grand daughter who is standing on his lap. A woman is standing in the middle, and another is seated to the right. I suggest these are daughters of the man. Both have their hair up, but the one seated has really dressed up with a bow in her hair and a corsage on her shirt. I feel that this is the mother of the child. Lastly, on the right is an older woman - the matriarch. She has a scarf around her neck and some jewellery on the scarf.
There is not much in the background - just some kind of lamp on the right. I suggest this was the studio who mounted the picture.

Mystery woman and a 1940s-ish Chrysler. #foundfilm I have no idea who this woman is nor what is going on. Why we have a series of shots here is strange given what I assume must have been a rare and costly hobby as photography.
Three black and white pictures: 1. A far shot of a woman standing by a dark coloured car with thick white walls. She is dressed all fancy - heels, gloves and hat and it is summer. The car window is open and her right forearm is resting on the window frame. Picture 2. We have zoomed in now. She is fully inside the car with the door open. The seat looks way forward so the seats much been able to slide forward and back. 3. The money shot. Door is closed and the camera is in tight. Her hands are on the wheel and she has a slight grin like she is going to have some fun as soon as she gets to leave. We can see that her hat has what looks like a vertical feature on each side. Not a fancy feature - it just looks all black. Headrests to prevent whiplash of the head had not been invented yet.

An entrance to a metro stop in #Paris. Early 1950s. #FoundFilm from my father's collection. He was intro photography at a young age, and he probably took this picture.
Alt: A picture, taken from the street, of a corner showing a set of stairs down to the metro. The shot also includes shooting down one of the streets which looks crazy wide although not all of that space is for travel. There is a huge area of angled parking and outside of that, there is street parking. The #WarOnCars has yet to begin. Several of the cars shown look like #Volkswagen beetles.

Hunting season. #FoundFilm. Probably some place in Ontario.

A car with two (deceased) deer strapped to the hood. A hunter is by the side of the car on the shoulder petting the head of a life deer.

I developed recently a roll of 127 film found in a Brownie Bullet, and pulled some solid images of a family, friends and their kids on an afternoon- or day-trip outing. I posted those images, and a few from other found rolls, and wrote some words on the subject of found film.

I got to handle a couple gorgeous, disturbing framed pieces by Luther Price last week, and it kicked off a deep dive to reacquaint myself with his work. His untimely death was such a huge loss.
