Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I'm glad I took the time to scan those older slides. Unlike the print photo albums the slides tend to get put in a box on a shelf and become out of site out of mind. The print albums get put on the same shelf, but they are easier to open and view when the whim strikes.
Somewhere in the late 60's the family started taking snapshots with prints instead of slides. Those are fading and also need to be scanned before they disappear. A lot of them are in those plastic album pages that were so popular back then. That said, once this stuff is scanned it needs to be reproduced in printed form and distributed to the family. I fear the digital versions are much like the slides. Out of sight, out of mind and easily lost. Eventually, I hope that another much younger person in the family emerges with the desire to be a custodian of these old photos. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 2:57 AM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > > On Apr 15, 2013, at 7:33 AM, George Sinos wrote: > >> Sometimes the stuff in the background of and old photo is as >> interesting as the original subject.
