Old Pearl Harbor Photos...
William Maner, Photographer
Biloxi | MS | USA | Posted: 11:43 AM on 12.19.08
->> A friend of mine sent me a series of photos of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

This appears to be "urban legends" quality stuff. The impression that I get is that the images sat undeveloped in a Brownie camera for more than 60 years.

I suppose it's possible for latent images to stay relatively unchanged over such a long period of time before being developed.

What do you old film guys think? What's the oldest film you've developed? I may have a couple of rolls of B&W film that's been sitting in a drawer 20+ years undeveloped. I would think B&W film is more stable than color film in retention of original undeveloped images.

Here's a link to the photos. I just wish there was more of an explanation about the camera and film.
