My New Toy

We all have at least one of these...

If it isn't a box, then it is a bag, or a drawer.

Full of negatives...

I have tried over the years to see what is on

these and are they even worth keeping..

I have had one of those lights that you put

the negatives strips on it and it lights it up,

but it is still small.. you are are looking at

a negative, not a picture...

Then I saw one of these about a year ago,

and just missed a sale at Costco for one.

Two weeks ago, when it was raining cats and

dogs, I got the box out and tried to look at the

envelopes that the negatives were in.. from the

store and tried to put them in bags by years.

70's, 80's, 90's and etc.  And as I trip over

the box a couple of times.. I thought I would

look and see what I could find.

Well, here it is.. it arrived yesterday.. and I

download 149 pictures.. some were old ones

I remember and some I didn't.  It was tiring

enough after 2 hours of download. But I was

revived when I put the card into my computer

and up pops up pictures..  some of them

fade from the years.. but still worthy.

After putting them in folders for each subject,

then it was share time. And have had fun

sharing..

But this is just the start. As I was working on

the 1970 bag.. and there are more but they

are 110, where the ones I did were 135.

And I still have the 80's, 90's, 00's bags..

yet to do.

I need to order a 110 slide.. don't know why

they didn't have that instead of the slide one.

But that is ok.. this is going to make a heck

of a winter project.

Right after I get done with Thanksgiving dinner

planning and getting supplies and cooking it.

And then after Christmas baking the first two

weeks of December, which is flying up here soon.

But I am excited.. Don't know what I ever did with

my 1960's negatives.. probably got lost in all the

moving deals. 

So if you see one of these and wonder if it is worth

it to get.. the answer is yes, as it turns the negative

to a picture in the box.. and then saves it on the card

which you put in your computer and wha la.. bingo...

you have prints.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY... M. M.
