Was thinking the same thing. Any time I've found old exposed film it hasn't come out well, if at all. The article says that only a small minority was kept in a fridge, and doesn't mention a freezer.
One hot summer can totally ruin the latent image. However it also mentions that he's working with a lab that specialises in old expired film.
This is a great story and I hope the film is able to be developed with quality photos. I would love to watch a documentary of this fellow talking about his photos and the history of the Boston music scene. He must have a treasure trove of rock and roll memories in his head.
What a great story. Also a reminder at the end, in case you want to contribute:
"The GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign [1] to raise money for developing and digitizing Daniels’s photos has raised over $34,000 of its $40,000 goal at the time of this writing. Assuming the effort does get funded, the world may soon be treated to tens of thousands of new never-before-seen photos that add to the history of rock ‘n’ roll’s most famous figures."
