Great pictures. Glad someone saved them from the storage place.
They said a lot of it was undeveloped. I understand why. Film was cheap. Developing was so darn expensive.
I had a drawer full of undeveloped film that I took as a teen. Tried developing some of it about 8 years ago. They didn’t come out well at all. The colors had shifted, there were odd blotches. The film had deteriorated a lot in 25 years. I guess B&W film doesn’t go bad like color.
If you love street photography, you should check out the film Bill Cunningham: New York, about a man who has dedicated his life to photographing fashion on the streets of New York City. I don’t give a damn about fashion, but this is a great movie and he has a wonderful sense of composition.
How I wish there were captions. There’s one with streets filled with people who all seem to be looking in one direction. I wonder what that’s about.
There seems to be something fascinating in each one. I’ve changed my mind several times. “My favorites are the kids. No my favorites are the ladies in fur stoles and collars. The best ones have windows in them. Men with hats win! Self portraits, definitely the self portraits…”
Nice link. I love comparing photos taken from the exact same viewpoint years apart. Does anyone know of any sites that specialise in that kind of thing?
