I fear my best option for digitizing the remaining 100 or so slides I have from my childhood might be this technique. Me, holding the slide up to the window and taking a photo against the bright white backdrop of our snow covered yard. I better to get to it since Spring is just around the corner….supposedly.
Then each of those photos will need to be cropped in Photoshop to a printable size. UGH! That’s a lot of work but since I seriously can’t ever remember seeing any of these slides…ever, it will be worth the extra effort.
Yes, that little toe head is me. The slide says ’79 but I’m sure it was from a couple years before. More like Summer of ’77 if I’m correct with the location of the photo. I guess I was allergic to a hairbrush. ;) I’m surprised my beautician mom let me go around like that…much less get my picture taken.
Oh – super cute little you!!!
I have bunch of slides too …. what an inconvenient way to do things it was way back then!!! But I’m about as likely to take on your task as have snow in my back yard …. I’ll use that for my excuse: “yah, I’ll get around to that when we have a snowy backyard!”
Thanks for popping by with kind comments. I recently happened into a box of old slides. I scanned them, but was not happy with the quality, so I took them to Costco who will put them on a real good quality CD. Well worth the $$ to have that done.
Keep smiling and creating.
You were SUCH a cutie!!
