Had to use a converter on the binary to get it - LOL!
I've got a few bankers' boxes of family photos, some of which go back to
Italy. I ghave no clue who the people are, but the most interesting are
the few where you don't know WTF is going on in the picture. Not many of
those - more of the "wedding with unknown people..." or "dinner of a
group of unknown people..."
With the color ones - I scanned some prints that were almost entirely
tones of yellow with just a few hints of color. Auto Levels in photoshop
got them probably 80% back to the original colors - one click of the
mouse. I guess the color shift was pretty consistent.

Yeah it's quite interesting, I just wish I had some more documentation. I've
done 57 so far and have maybe another 15-20 to go. Some were shot in colour
but have faded quite a lot.
I was thinking something along the lines of 11011110101011011011111011101111.

Sounds like a cool project... I guess cows don't make good gandy dancers.

I've been roped into scanning some old slides from the 1920s (or thereabouts),
most of which are from a Commonwealth tour of Australia. There's an
accompanying book but that's in storage with the rest of our possessions while
our house is being repaired.
The slides are a weird format, about 6x7ish, and are mounted between glass
which is taped together. I've made up an insert to hold them in my medium
format scanner because I didn't want to take them apart.
I just came across this one and words fail me. How it got up there I have no
idea. I am starting to think that someone's playing a joke.

Warning: the photo features a deceased cow.
I would love to hear some captions :) This slide has a very small handwritten
label which I'm mostly unable to decipher. Apparently it's in Queensland.
Cheers,
Dave
