My dad gave me his DSLR but I would never look at the photos I took or cared for it.

Now that the number of photos I can take are limited I can’t wait to develop those photos and actually feel it.

    If I couldn’t develop at home I wouldn’t bother with film photography at all. It would get too expensive.

    B&W stand development really is very easy and nearly fool-proof, but I’d also say, don’t be intimidated by color film (specifically C-41) development if it’s something you think you’d enjoy. A bit of an investment up front to control the temperatures and store your chemicals, but It’s just a little more involved and not beyond anyone who can do B&W. I’ve had good luck with the cinestill C-41 powder kit.

    ECN-2 film with the remjet coating is do-able, but kind of a pain. I’d steer clear of that at first.

    I haven’t tried slide film development yet.

    Also, it was Technology Connections film videos that got me into it in the first place! Probably many such cases.
