Scanning Old Photos (#84)
Over the past month or so I spent several days scanning in old family photos (#84 on my 101 list), followed by cropping, color correcting, and restoring said photos. I ended up digitizing around 400 pictures spanning several generations of memories.
It was one of those goals that I had been putting off for years because it seemed so daunting. I realized, though, that every year those photos were fading a little more and accumulating a few more scratches so the sooner I did this, the better.
Like most things in life, getting started was the hardest part. It was wonderful reading the notes scribbled on the backs of photos and seeing the progression of my relatives lives before I was in the picture (pun intended). The best part, of course, is that now I have gems like these at my digital fingertips...

Aaawwww, those are so cute! I remember every moment of each of those days. People will never guess there are only two Halloween time pictures there and then they won’t guess which two!
Thank you for all the photo saving , I just started to look over the cd, you do nice work!
