Scanning Day, The Second

Scanning Day, The Second

When processing the results of our scanning day, I had the horrifying realization that the first photos we did that day (which were rather dusty, coated in disintegrating tape, etc.) had done a number on the scanning lens.  Nearly all of the following scans had some pretty major flaws, due to dust on the lens.  I’m somewhat proficient at fixing up photos, but..  I’m not practically able to do hundreds of edits on hundreds of photos, in any reasonable amount of time.  So..  We decided to try again, this time, using more professional equipment.  This project is really important to me, so, I bought a new photo scanner, gloves for handling the photos, microfiber cleaning cloths, and an air blower to remove dust from the most fragile photos.  I also brought the whole crew with me!  Brandon was a great help with the scanning, and made sure we stayed organized.  The kids were as well-behaved as they could, given the circumstances!  I hope they didn’t annoy Charlotte too much as she was organizing things.  Rosemary came and took them to her house for awhile, and I know they were happy for the diversion (and the golf cart ride!)  We stayed waaaaay too late, but we’re feeling much better about the result this time. 🙂

    What a job but you won’t regret saving family photos.
