Ok, so in other posts I have mentioned that I found some old photos that I had scanned years ago when my screen resolution was 800×600 and I thought 100dpi and a 300×400 picture was a good idea. The original scanning session, via parallel port, took forever, and it took me the majority of one summer to scan all the photos. Now, I thought these photos were left back in Newfoundland, but I was going through what I thought was my “photo box” and it turned out not to be filled with prints, but with ALL the original negatives! Now I had forgotten that I had packed these when moving from Newfoundland, as the majority of the packing happened in the wee hours of the morning, and in fact up to the morning the day the movers were scheduled to take our stuff. Anywho, when Lionel and I got to Vancouver we bought a flatbed scanner with a negative attachment that can scan 35mm film at 1200dpi and we tried it and they’re AWESOME! Of course most of the pictures were taken with a $20 Regal camera and are dark and horrid, but nothing a little photoshop won’t fix. I’m so happy! So, over the next few weeks I will work on the photos and have some nostalgic photos up from junior high and high school!
