I'm in China. A waitress workng a 10-hour day with one day a month off makes at most $150 a month. For $500 you can take your pick of new graduates from decent universities. Want me to find out what having them scanned here would cost? I certainly would not recommend risking this with anything truly precious, but it might solve yor problem for trivia.

My estimate of the time it will take to digitise my personal collection of trivia into a presentable form is ~five years working full time. _That's _ a lot of awful stuff.

We can rebuild it. We have the technology.
Since I relaunched my website a few weeks ago, I've been slowly rebuilding my gallery. GoDaddy has a feature called Gallery, using the free software of the same name, which makes for a really nice automated image gallery builder. I decided a couple weeks ago that my new gallery is going to feature photos from my entire "career" as a photographer, so I figured I really ought to go through my old film, organize it, and rescan the good stuff. So last weekend I spent the majority of my time going through all the negs & slides I shot while I was working at Reed's, and next weekend I'll go through all the stuff I shot during college. This is an awful lot of stuff (and a lot of awful stuff), and it's rather overwhelming. I wish I had a flatbed scanner still, because some of my best college work exists only as prints now. I'm just glad I'm all digital now, so I don't end up with boxes and boxes of film, like I imagine some of you have, tucked away in closets or attics. Digital files are much easier to organize. The small set of photos that I've posted so far contains some stuff that I really like, and some stuff that's mostly filler until I get everything else ready to show. This is one of the shots I really like: http://www.neovenator.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=90 I think it's from 2003. That's an ex-girlfriend of mine, Tristanne. It's probably my favorite non-posed portrait photo. Shoot, would write more, but gotta get back to work.
