Here's a B&W teaser...I thought the color film was lost forever (this is why I develop my own B&W). The tracking said it left Kansas on the 15th, and was supposed to arrive the 18th. After it left Kansas it wasn't scanned again until this morning at 2am...I'll post a full gallery tomorrow after I scan the film. Or check out the digital gallery on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! site.

Man. This is why I develop my own film. Always nervous about it getting lost in transit, and if it gets screwed up it's nobody's fault but my own. Plus it's a lot cheaper that way. Luckily I've only managed to screw up twice- I agitated the tank too hard when developing my first roll ever, and I underdeveloped a roll of 33 year old Tri-X that I found in an old camera bag. Of course when it comes to old film like that development times are just a guess anyway.

Do you do your own color? I do my own B&W. The lab screwed up half of the rolls I took in the first time I shot film as an adult getting into photography. They didn't fix it long enough. On top of that the scans of what they did right were low quality and cropped significantly for no good reason. After that I started developing my own B&W. I can't recall ever having film screwed up as a kid before digital came around...
I've had a couple screw ups. I did the same thing the lab did, but realized it, and just did that over with fresh fixer real quick and saved it. The last roll I did was really tough to get on the reel, and the very last bit must have come off while I agitated the tank. I ended up with a scratch and a kinked frame, not too bad.

Yeah, I do my own color too. I actually would rather develop color than B&W. You have to be very precise with the temperature at the beginning but after that you just blast through the process quickly, none of this agitating for 12 minutes business that you sometimes get with B&W. It's actually pretty easy.
