Photography

But perhaps things I know from then could help:
1. Can he use a "faster" film (in my day, it was "Tri-X) for dark situations and 2. I don't know if it is still possible now but back then you could "push" a film to be faster by developing it slightly more when developing the negative. 3. "Grainy" can work in your favor but print it on a (what back then was called) number 6 type paper (very black and white, really no grey tones). I did a photo around 1967 of a crowd at my high school, enlarged it like crazy ( = lotsa grain) and printed it on #6 -- and -- guess what? -- the Class of 1968 chose it as the photo for reunions. I was pleased as punch. Good luck to your grandson.
