ScanCafe.com how we got started
This company started, oddly enough, at a funeral.
grandfather. Every family seems to have a family archivist, and among his many gifts, Laurent's grandfather was an enthusiastic photographer, who left behind countless Agfacolor prints, slides and negatives.
As the engineer in the family, Laurent volunteered to scan in all those old photographs so that they could be shared with the extended family, who are scattered all over the world. Many of these photos, in fact, had been forgotten altogether, and Laurent thought it would be a great tribute to his grandfather to make sure the next generation had these memories easily available.
In the photo: Co-founder Laurent Martin holding one of the faded photo albums he tore all his hair out trying to scan.
An engineer, on the scene
So at least it started well. Laurent promptly got home, spent $800 on equipment, and began his project. For the next 6 straight weekends, he had to wrestle with scanning, choosing resolutions, re-scanning, cropping, rotating, color correction, and all the other things that people who truly care about preserving memories need to wrestle with. And that was just for the first images - it turns out that he had 28,000 more to go! (We like to joke that it was at this point that he tore out all his hair).......
