Great start...................
As a former lab manager, I saw countless photos of wives, girlfriends, and who knows who else. We had a policy to return both prints and the negatives as long as the photos didn't cross the line into hardcore porn. Some of our printers were automated, so a great number of hardcore pics did make it through the print process and our inspectors would then decide whether they had to be culled from the order or not. Those that were culled went to my office, there I had a lockable file to store them, in case the authorities would be notified if underage people were in them. We did return the negatives in the orders. It was a law that we had to comply with.
And you can imagine that a "few" dupes of some were accidentally (lol) made. And, of course I also processed work for certain friends and it made for a really interesting job that I held for a long time. I also had my own home darkroom where I developed and printed my own work after I left the lab biz. Color slides were a lot of fun to process at home and I have a library of much of those still in my stash. I have posted several of those here and elsewhere on the net.
Cheers, everyone. Let's watch this thread prosper.
