Pam’s mural arrived and has been added to the west wall of the parlor bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally set up my garage stereo system. Speakers still need to be mounted on the walls in opposite corners but the system is functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does take an explanation. I own an old (2000) Minolta film scanner. It can scan 35mm slide (transparency) and 35mm roll film, color or black and white. Factory support for this device is long gone but a software company, named VueScan, still makes software that allows the scanner to function with my Macintosh computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I purchased the software and have begun scanning some old slides. Unless I do so, it is probable that my children will never see these photos. Few people still have slide projectors, and even fewer have “show parties” where the screens and equipment are pulled out and used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the scanner I can convert these old slides and negatives into electronic versions that can be printed, e-mailed, or posted. I can burn them to CDs or put them on flash (thumb) drives and send them to my kids. Who knows, the kids might even look at them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scanner was not top-of-the-line when it was new so the image quality is not 100%. I do open the files with an editor, Photo Shop Elements, and attempt to fix some issues as best as I can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the dates may be suspect as I didn’t date a lot of these. Many were stamped with the month and year at the time of processing but not all. If you see a question mark (?) in the caption it means the date is not certain but is the best Pam and I can remember. They should be fairly close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you enjoy seeing some of these classic moments captured on film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
