Luckily, most of my slides are Kodachrome ... they'll be good for many years to come.
The photos I posted today in Gallery 2 are rescued from fading slides. The original film was probably no-name film from a drugstore; the slides don't have any product name at all. The first time I looked at them after a few years of storage was a shock - only a faint green image remained, Even that is now fading. Here is how the originals look today: Here is one more: I've done only a very basic cleaning on them so far; in a few days I'll really clean them. I'll also do a much more thorough image recovery than I did two days ago. I doubt if I can ever get the original colors back to normal.

This is my friend, Ken Beatty; I photographed him in the summer of 1984. Ken died in December of that year. He had many friends.
