My Dad sent me a box full of slides, negatives and pictures is nor logical order or even in any semblance or organization. Some slides where unmounted and many negatives were torn or bent. I decided to tackle this and get them all scanned. We bought a high end film and slide scanner and off I went. After about 2 weeks I had all the slides (600+) done at a good high res (4800dpi if you must know). They spanned most of the 80's and were a blast to look at as I went. I then decided to go after the negatives. I found 4 different formats and could, luckily, mount most.I started with what looked to bethe oldest and dived in. I even took the time to slightly organize them and get negative mounts to store them in. WHAT A BLAST!!!! They start around 1963 and go forward. I have pictures of me and my family I have never seen in my life. I just finished the odd format negatives, the oldest, last night and am working on the 35mm. The 110 will be a pain and I will probably send those out. I now have 10Gb on Picassa and am moving everything up. Since my album is in chronological order, you will need to go to the bottom of the page to see the old stuff. While its majorly time consuming, its also a labor of love. Its like reliving your life all over again.
