I am intrigued by pictures such as this. It had laid dormant for 30 years or so, probably taken somewhere in the Soviet union during the 1960’s or 1970’s, and then brought into light, as the film was developed in quite another world. On the roll were other pictures as well, such as this.
A fellow member of Rangefinderforum found the undeveloped film in a Soviet-era camera he had bought, and developed it.
Just this month I received a KMZ Drug with a roll of film in a bulk-load canister still inside. The film was cracked and torn in places, but I managed to get it onto a reel.
Tried HC-110 (dilution H) for 12 min; it was mostly fogged beyond recognition, but a few frames came out.
Photography is a material culture; photographs are semi-stable, they hold together, they can withstand certain amounts of stress. Given the whims of life, they can show up in unexpected places, far from their origins of production and consumption.
