fucked up negs

While we were in Belgrade I gave 20 rolls of film to a lab for processing (btw, that lab was recommended to me by a photographer friend). Good price, all good, I went there, picked up my negs, and when I got home I almost had a heart attack. Two rolls looked like a tank ran over them. I called the lab, yelled at them, got my money back, but wtf, that didn't bring back my shots ....




So, I guess the only way is to do everything yourself. Color film processing too, I've never done it, but it's not rocket science.
I just bought a small color processor yesterday, and will give it a try very soon. Independence is the key. If you fuck something up, at least it's your own fault.
