Ah, dodging... Well I remember my early photo days in the late 60s
(including developing my film in the wardrobe with a blanket over
everything and fixing them with diluted vinegar). Then years later I
discovered that my Uni had a photo lab replete with enlarger and glazer
:-)
Or taking your 110 film to the local chemist (and there'd better not be
any "naughty" pics on them, otherwise you wouldn't get them back). And
the yellow envelopes that came with every roll of Kodak colour slides
(which no longer seem to be able to be processed; I have a roll with
Halley's Comet on it).
The youngsters these days wouldn't know what we're talking about, of
course...
