I've been having a bit of a clear out and found my carousel at the weekend. I'd forgotten I even had it, it's so long since I used it. I also have hundreds of envelopes of print film with negatives in that I've never catalogued. Some day I'll have to put aside some time to do that, and try to scan some of the decent stuff while I'm at it. Some places do so-called 'shoebox scanning' for people. That must be a soul-destroying job.
