Rather than developing a disposable camera using C41 film with correct chemicals I thought I develop it with B&W 
chemicals instead. Good thing too as I rather like it ! And for those who do not know that you can develop colour film with B&W chemicals… yeah it can be done ! Although (be warned or not)… the image quality will never be fantastic as it produces a somewhat washed out grainy image BUT this kind of erratic behaviour with any kind of cross processing can be a REAL good thing for those who like an imperfect image !!! (an image is a tonne of words however perfect it may be) 
Camera: Disposable, Film: C41 (brand unknown) cross processed.
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
Thanks!
This is a scan from a negative. Although, may do it on print as I like the effect of this.
Ahh, I haven’t done C-41 in black and white chemicals in a while now. This looks fantastic. Is it scanned from a negative or a print?
Thanks for the kind words !
And Tony, thanks for the link !
your blog and your work are formidables ! images lead to a new, magic, dreamy world, filled with so much sensibility and talent
congratulations !
You can get the orthochromatic (or lith film) from Freestyle.

Orthochromatic film is not red sensitive so it can be developed under red safe light conditions, but the link above says it is panchromatic sensitized, so you might want to give Freestyle a call before developing under red lights. …or you could just be extra safe about it and go total darkness.
It also lists the ISO as 25, but in my experience, it should be treated as 12 ISO.
Hi Tony,
Yeah the orange mask can be a bit of problem, I find that some film brands are worse than others. The film in this disposable ended up being more dark than orange. Other than filters I am not sure how to rid it really, but then since I’m not trying to produce a technically quality image it doesn’t bother me.
I have cross processed c41 using E6 chems in the past, and agree, interesting results can be achieved (not as punchy and vibrant as deving slide film with C41 chems but none the less still nice). I do still have a few more disposable cameras on hand and as I use them up will be experimenting with different techniques.
But now I must say (and with a BIG thank you !!!)… you got me thinking about this orthochramitc film. Really wanting to get my hands on it now
I’ve done this before with sporadic results. Did you figure out a way to bleach off the orange mask without losing the latent image on the negative? I’ve tried using farmer’s reducer, but the image bleaches away before the mask.
I’ve gotten some really interesting prints (I don’t have any of them scanned with which to play show and tell), but printing in the darkroom was indeed a chore. Pushing light through that orange mask took a lot of time, coupled with the need for a high filter to keep the images from looking too muddy.
Next time you get one of those disposable cameras, try cross processing it as slide film. Now that is neat…or cross processing slide film as C41.
Wanna have some real fun? Process orthochromatic film as a slide.
Wow, that actually looks awesome with that picture.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that!
