My 40 year old Anscochromes of Emperor penguins are faded and green
where they should be black and white(with a little bit of yellowish
orange) with magnificently white ice bergs with blue skies and bluish
gray water.

I bet even my great grandchildren will be enjoying their great
grandfather's adventures 80 years from now because he was lucky
enough, in spite of his ignorance of all things photographic, to have
taken mostly Kodachrome film with him to the ice.

And by the way.  These slides have not be carefully protected.  For
most of their lives they have been stored in my attic in cardboard
boxes.  The attic is very hot(100 degrees) for a couple months in late
summer and generally moist and cool the other 10 months of the year.
