Progress on my Photo Scanning Project
So what originally started with flipping through my photo albums to try to create a more or less comprehensive list of where I have traveled has become a major photo scanning project. In the last month I have scanned in over 1,200 pictures and I still have two photo albums and about half of a photo box to go through. And those are just the things that have travel photos. I also have boatloads of family photos to go through someday.
I ended up ordering a new scanner that supposedly scans negatives in addition to prints in order to make this project go a bit faster. Everything I have read says that you get the best scans from negatives, so I figured I'd give it a try. I have the prints for most of those photographs, so if scanning the negatives doesn't work out as well as I've been told it will, I can just go back to scanning the prints. I couldn't find a local store that carried the scanner that I want, so I ended up ordering it from Amazon. It should be here sometime in the next week.
And on top of everything else, I cannot find any photos from either of my honeymoons. I just had the one marriage, but we took two honeymoons. My ex didn't have any vacation time yet when we got married, so we took a long weekend and went to Indianapoiis for our first honeymoon. Then, once we both had vacation time, we took a little more than a week and drove to Florida for our second honeymoon. I know we took pictures, but cannot find a single one. If they don't turn up, I'll contact my ex and see if by some chance he has them.
