<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I recently visited my father's house and went through a big box of old photos.<br>

At the bottom of the box was a used roll of undeveloped film.<br>

The film could be between 25-45 years old.<br>

I'd love to get it developed to see what's on there.<br>

The roll says, "Kodak High Speed EKTACHROME color slide film", it's 20 exposures,<br>

HI/SPD, EKTA, B<br>

EHB 135 - 20<br>

ASA 125 * 22 DIN<br>

24 x 36mm<br>

Process E-2 or E-4<br>

Anyone know where I can send it online to get it developed?<br>

Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Katia</p>

I just saw that on mediastorm today:

<br>

Very moving piece.

<br>

And Mediastorm is a great site to keep updated on.

<br>

<i>but your reaction to these images says more about you than the people in them.</i>

<br>

Peter, excellent point, thank you for that.

<br>

<br>

Sheila, you have some very fine work!

<br>

Re: cropping.<br>

I don't think there is any 'right' or 'wrong' here.<br>

Some people think cropping is fine and some don't.<br>

But i think that superior photographers make their photos in frame<br>

with no need or desire to crop. <br>

good contrast and tones!

<br>

try to get everything you want and ONLY what you want in the frame.

<br>

that way you won't have to crop. <br>

<br>

<br>

it's the thrill of the hunt..

<br>

<br>

<br>

feel the fear

<br>

accept the fear

<br>

embrace the fear

<br>

and Just Do It.

<br>

<br>

Kevin, your narrow-mindedness prevents me from further communications with you.<br>

I wish you the best in your insular world.<br>

I'm out.<br>

<br>

Kevin, you must be in the wrong forum.

<br>

Maybe they have a forum for sunsets or flowers that you'd be better suited for.<br>

<br>

I was thinking... food?

<br>

<br>

Interesting..

<br>

I would've liked to see a few photos of the women interacting with men since that is their work, yes?

20 frickin' one, can you believe it?

i don't know him but i sure am proud of him.

<br>

<br>

i really like this kid's work.

<br>

<br>

names mike brodie, 21 yr old photographer who

<br>

jumps trains and befriends and photographs

<br>

kindred youthful nomads.<br>

great stuff.<br>

this is just the kind of thing i'm doing and have been doing now for two years -<br>

documenting the (often nomadic) street kid subculture here in Seattle.<br>

the difference being i do it in the city and he does it off the beaten path.<br>

just love it..

<br>

<br>

Thanks for explaining.

<br>

What is TMZ?

<br>

(I assume you're not talking about that awful new papparazi TV show.)

What technical challenges were you having that you felt you've conquered?

<br>

I'd be curious to hear more about that.

The movie 'Born into Brothels' is photography related and a fantastic movie as well.

<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

One of my favorite movies of all time.

<br>

Nachtwey is a truly GREAT photographer and yet so humble.

<br>

We could all learn a lot from him. About good photos, yes,

<br>

and about how to be better people.

<br>

<br>

J - I had a terrible bout with panic disorder/agorophobia myself some 14 years ago.

<br>

You're absolutely doing the right thing -

<br>

putting yourself (gently at first) in your feared situations to de-sensitize yourself.

<br>

Also, fully accept and welcome your feelings of fear.

<br>

They can't hurt you.

<br>

Best of luck to you!

<br>

<br>

Jack - that's exactly who I thought of when I saw the video - Garry Winogrand. :)

<br>

<br>

Oops, I meant Joe..

<br>

Yes, John, carrying some photos is a great idea. In fact, I almost always carry

<br>

my portfolio in my bag and many people I've met on the street have looked

<br>

through and immediately understood more about what I'm doing.

<br>

They can see my passion.

<br>

And who knows? You never know who you'll run into and show photos too.

<br>

Might be a way to get your 'big break'. ;)

<br>

(I've also sold prints on the spot this way! nice..)

<br>

<br>

One thing though, I never lie about what I'm doing.

<br>

Not even for a joke.

<i>How many people here have that much chutzpah? </i>

<br>

<br>

I do. I don't even consider it 'chutzpah' as it's merely

<br>

a relaxed way of being in the world.

<br>

I don't think you can be a street photographer without it.
