Nice find! You can try bleaching the orange mask using these methods:

I tried both (copying to pan film and bleaching with citric acid) and both are working; citric acid is easier of course.
Also better scanner can probably pull more details.

Thanks! I just assumed the two are the same girl but may be you're right, they are probably sisters or may be this is still the same person but in different time (the condition of the two frames is very different with the one with "older" girl been much better quality).

Almost a classic of found film: Agfa B2-Cadet with exposed roll of Verichrome Pan inside.
I found 4 pictures on the roll, all but one infected with light:







It has went through long years and changed many hands; time added light streaks; somebody opened the camera to find the half-exposed film.
The girl's hair-dress à la Jacqueline Kennedy is pointing to mid-60s.
Click, click, click: girl in the garden, the girl with hat, the dog, the girl with the dog and boy and it all goes into darkness which, if properly developed and fixed, will turn into light again...

That is very true. There is another song about the Varyag and it is of German origin, translated to Russian. It is very energetic military song, here is the first verse:

Наверх вы, товарищи, все по местам!
Последний парад наступает.
Врагу не сдается наш гордый “Варяг”,
Пощады никто не желает.

(translation)
Get up you comrades, take your places,
The final parade is at hand.
Proud "Varyag" will not surrender to enemy,
No one wants their mercy.

You can listen to it here:

I do, i do admire them! Ok I'll try next time. By the way, I can see these in 3D right off the screen. I mastered this. These two have not much of a volume since everything is so far away, but >this< photograph (also Port Arthur) is more interesting when viewed in stereo.

Hi Pete, actually I am following your beautiful girls on flickr so I sort of see you almost every day :rolleyes:
The ships... some I read the name -- on the Russian ships at the time there were always names on the hull.
For example the first one says "Sevastopol". Then there is also the back of the card, so I cheated and then I recognized the destroyer to the class name by the silhouette.

I have a few old stereo cards picturing ships of the 1st Pacific Squadron of Russian Imperial Navy in the Port Arthur harbor right before the war with Japan (1904).
Here are 2 of them:




The good thing about old prints is the amount of the details you can get out of them.
This is this is battleship Sevastopol (first card):


and this is cruiser Varyag:


On the second card there is a single ship painted in gray-green wartime color.
It is Sokol type destroyer in the foreground here:


Three-funnel monster behind her is cruiser Pallada.
Chinese boaters are transferring sailors from/to the ships:

the closest boat:


The battleship on the right is Peresvet and next to her again,  cruiser Variag:


Soon, she will look like this:


The wooden pole in the front gun s barrel is to mark the place in the high tide.

Now the promised song...there are few about Varyag, I like this one:

Nice find. Same here -- too many rolls to develop, too little time...

Should be more or less like this; in Soviet Union it was normal for all generations to live and often vacation together. Now it is a whole different picture there. Still, many families live the same way as they use to long time years ago -- all together in small apartments.

I'd try, with a good pampers  :rolleyes:

Not my find, but I like it a lot. All facets of the early Russian post-soviet life I remember so well densely packed in the few frames:

Cosmic 35 is actually re-badged Smena-8. The car in the pictures is ZAZ Tavria
The houses in the background on the picture above are small private summer cabins (with equally small private gardens) known to everybody in FSU as "dachas". There were (and still are) huge communities of these cabins all over the country(es). I hated the idea and never had one, bought a real log house in a rural village instead:

Enjoy

Hello Will,

I am serious. Here is >him<
The paining was created recently, this year. He invented his own technique -- multilayer acrylic with application of varnish after every layer and this picture was done in it. He is saying the photograph can't express it fully. So if I ever get to Germany I'll try checking it out.

The Russian artist I know created a piece inspired by one of the pictures from the film:

^^^^Here is the nice little set I received from eBay^^^^
Kodak Brownie developer and exposed Agfa 18A roll (101 format, 90mm wide).
According to the seller, the film had been found in inherited farm house in Elgin, Illinois
Now, for the record, it is not a very good idea to store exposed film and developer together, but that's was obviously happened in this case.
The film is nitrate-base, brittle and it won't separate from the backing paper, but the emulsion, as the test have shown, was alive.
4min in 10% HC-110 at 45F:









The first three developed as positives, the #4 as negative. It happens fairly often with old film.
LarryD once explained why.

The Ohio Grove Grange #1842 (frame #3) is located here
According to this document, it had been established in 1928.
So the parade pictured in the first 3 frames could happened in 1928 or later. Not much later I think.
I am not 100% sure but I think I see 20s/early 30s-style car in the frame #1.
The simple camera was used plus the film was not laying flat. Almost everything is out of focus. But, the pictures are interesting.
I also liked the last one -- three women looking at us through 80 years of time.

fin.

Then it is probably tungsten + fluorescent -- very different from candles.
