As information for any daft readers out there who have not noticed the recent spate of old family photos on my blog, I have started scanning my father's slides. There are a great many of these precious little 135 and 126 square gems at my house now, each having patiently waited for up to 50 years for its turn in the scanner bed. When I am finished I will give each family member a DVD with all these old pictures on it, full size. So far I have scanned about 550 of them, with a couple thousand left. It's tedious and tricky, but it's more than worth the effort. I plan on doing a "best of" slide show at reunion this year which I think will be cool. In the mean time, you will find me hunched over the silver Canon, brushing, cleaning, and scanning, four at a time.
