Do you like to look through your old family photos?  I sure do.  Some of my childhood photos and the camera that took them.

    Laurent TRUILLET and Ann Kennedy I really have been a slacker on scanning old photos.  I need to use my son-in-law as incentive.  He just scanned a couple of thousand old slides that his father took many years ago.

    I wish you have the courage to do so.
    As far as I am concerned, I have finished scanning ALL my film negatives and slides, and I am terribly happy that I finished the job, Now, I can share any memory with any members of the family or relatives and make them as happy as I am myself when I receive new inputs to my collection.

    Thanks Laurent TRUILLET I do have some scanning done.  When my son and daughter were both married we scanned a enough to make a slide show of them growing up.  I will most likely never scan everything, but I need to start going through the boxes of slides and film to pick the best to scan.  Most of all I need to do scanning on my childhood and my parents before I was born.

    Ron Grooms I had to wait until I was retired to do the job. It would have been totally impossible in my active years. I used a Cannon scanner with a device to scan 12 negs automatically. The scanner worked every day for 3 months from 7 am till 6 pm. I moved around in the house with a kitchen timer in my pocket warning me to get back to the scanner every half hour to change the negatives...

    Laurent TRUILLET I don't have that luxury yet, still working.  Most of what I have scanned has been done on an Epson V700 scanner that I have at work.  I will sometimes scan a few negatives at lunch.

    Yes. It's one of my favourite things to do. I love old photos. I have my grandmother's photo album. Great photos.
