vintage slides


When my dad was here, he brought boxes of old slides that his parents had taken that were stored away collecting dust. Now that I have my scanner, I can put them all online for the family to see, and I'm having a ball. These photos are amazing. It is such a trip to see all these photos from so long ago of these people who never knew what was to come in the future, which is what we are experiencing now. Crazy! There I go talking about time again...which I could go on about for days. But this is fun. There will be many many more (I'm talking 4 cases of them) so it may be a slow process, but I'll be sure to share any highlights as I go along. (this one shown is in Yosemite circa 1959) You can see the first batch on my flickr site in the meantime.

My dad has recently become addicted to Geni.com -- he's created this whole huge family tree with old photos and documents. None of the photos are quite as beautiful as this though -- they're mostly of me in my awkward years.
