About the photo and the film:

As soon as I heard about Expired Film Day, I knew I had to pull out my oldest camera and some of the oldest film I have for it. This was shot on Kodak Verichrome Pan 620 film (best shot by September 1962, according to the box) using my Kodak Medalist II camera. I decided to follow the instructions on the backing paper when I shot the film. I developed the film myself using Legacy Pro L110 developer, which I use like Kodak HC110. I used dilution B and developed it for 8 minutes at 64 degrees F just to try to keep any possible fogging down. The negatives came out better than expected! You can see a bit of the words from the backing paper on the images, but I kind of like that.
