B&W Photos From the 1950’s: My Grandmother at the Beach

As I continue along my quest of scanning my grandparents’ slides and negatives, each set seems to be better than the one before. It makes me feel like I’m getting to know a totally different side of their lives together…

I must say this first photo is by far my most favorite photo of my beautiful grandmother that I have ever seen, ever. I think she looks like a movie star:

Ilford Lab: Film Processing and Prints

I’ve listed a few distance processing labs on the Links/Resources page, but one of the most obvious places to go would be right to the source itself: Ilford. Now, granted we are talking about black and white but in reality, isn’t it more difficult to find a good black and white lab? Most cities and towns still have a one hour photo that will process your color film in 3 days, nay? (That was a little photo humor for those of you who didn’t catch it.)

The good part is that you don’t have to shoot Ilford film to use their processing:

“We process all types of 35mm and 120 Black and White film, including non-ILFORD films and colour process black and white films”

Sweet. They also scan (yay!) and offer silver prints from film, digital prints from film, or prints from digital files. So no more complaining that you don’t have access to a good black and white lab.
