Just got two rolls back from Old School Photo Lab, one of which was a ~10-12 year old roll I found when I was last at my parents house. The above is blurred-head self-portrait of me as a teen. Developing this was like some weird time capsule. Yes, that is an accordion.

Roll of Firsts!
First time using slide film; first time using 100 ISO; first time using my Minolta AF-C; first time cross-processing; first time developing by mail (Old School Photo Lab, phenomenal).
Super pleased with the results, and that camera is so small & pocketable it just might become my carry-all-the-time film cam. Click the pic for more. Success!

Street-view it for ColorVision! If I were a squatter I’d live in there. Seems like more and more places are abandoned and vacant in my neighborhood, kind of lame/scary, but makes for some nice photos.

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. Kodak Tri-X 400TX.
Looks pretty grainy because it’s a bad scan of the negative, I’m just too lazy/cheap to get them re-scanned.

Query:

What’s the best way of going about getting film cross-processed? Do I just trick the local drug store photo lab, or mail it in to a place that’ll do it no problem? Any suggestions?
