I found about forty rolls of undeveloped film in a box I was cleaning out. That is, there are pictures on these rolls, but I haven't developed them yet. They are about ten years old.
For you younglings, pictures used to be taken by exposing a light image through a lense onto photo-sensitive rolls of film. You then took the film to your local film developer and they gave you back hard copies of your images and film negatives from which you could make more hard copies.
Anyway, does anyone know of a cheap film development service or website? I want electronic pics without the hardcopies because there will be a bunch of them. I was thinking of Clark Color Labs only because I've used them before to develop film. Any thoughts? You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ."

Developing film is a laborous, time consuming and chemical resource eating process so dont expect to find anyplace to get all those done cheap.. I suggest exploiting a college students' access to a film lab and pay em 100$ I read ALL your private messages.

I may be missing something here, but from what I can tell you want digital copies. IE, ones on a disc or your hard-drive, or the net somewhere. Usually a standard 1-hour photo booth at Fred Meyer's/Target/Insert Massive Store Name Here will be able to develop your film and provide you with a disc for a small fee.

One hour is the way to go, usually cheapest at WalMart or Target. If you find a place online, by the time you pay S&H it usually ends up the same if not more. Having been a manager at a 1 hr photo awhile back I know what Im talking about.

Thanks guys. And BP and Sirus, while I do have a local photography college and 1-Hr places nearby, I don't want to use someone local. I don't know what's on these rolls. I think these pics are of the running group, well, drinking club with a running problem, i ran with in Germany. I had long hair back then and taking pics of me nestled between two women with their tops off was not uncommon.
I'm pretty well respected in my local community and the last thing I need is for someone's kid to recognize me in a possibly compromising position, or positions.
I'll post a few once I get them developed.

Most places won't develop "compromising" pictures (in my experience anyways). I'd recommend an independent camera place (if you can find one!) since they tend to not care unless there is something illegal. If you are worried about being recognized then just drive to a nearby town/city. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

#1. How old is the film?-They are about ten years old (i'm an ass)
#2. Is it color film?
#3. Most one hour photo joints will give you a picture disk, it's not much more then film.
#5. As long as it's not child pornography or any sort of torture of animals or whatever it's good.
My best friend develops photos in his basement (that's where alot of my weird black n white shots come from(slingshot, baghead). At one point he worked at a 1 hour photo joint and honestly they don't look at any of your pictures. Go rent the movie 1 hr photo with robin williams, it's pretty creepy. I'd suggest getting basic copies of them with a photo disk at a one hour joint, it's really not that much loot.
EDIT: Dude, it's probably too old, you may not get anything out of them.

If they're that old the emulsion may have dried up and gone bad. Take in one roll as a test before plunking down a load of cash all at once.
