Developing the photos
I think that if we had been forced to have the pictures developed by someone else that would have been a deal breaker as far as her posing. Luckily I had been developing my own Black and White film for quite a few years. The color shots were done on slide film. You could buy a kit that would allow you to develop your own slides. So no one but us ever had to see the shots. Thankfully the transition to digital brought all the tools needed to "clean up" all of these pictures. I was able to correct the exposure, and adjust the color. Plus I was able to remove most of the 45 years of dust, dirt, scratches and other damage. It seemed to take forever but considering the subject matter it was a pure labor of love.
