You’re back from the park where your kids had the time of their lives climbing all over their favorite jungle gym. You’ve preserved those moments on film, either with still photography or home movies, but you’re not able to access those pictures. At least not yet.
There is one vital step between you and your precious photographs.
Film processing.
Most Americans living in the 1960s didn’t spare a thought for how images taken by their Pony cameras, were then transformed into color photos. They just popped their film in an envelope and dropped it in the mail. A few weeks later, another envelope appeared, this one with their loving pictures inside.
But what happened during the intervening days?
The process is a fascinating one, highlighted in a pamphlet published by Kodak, famous maker of film.
