Family photo drawer is converting to the digital era
Every house has one. Go on, admit it. You know what I mean - a drawer stuffed to the brink with photos of dodgy clothes, questionable hairrcuts, smiles, tears, forgotten friends, and dearly departed. Precious memories all.
I just got myself a scanner, a Canon 4200F. Not the best scanner in the world but hopefully good enough for the task. Most importantly it has a film scanner.
We have many slides and film negatives at home but no photos (or very old faded photos) to go with them.
I know it is going to take ages to scan, edit and safely store all the images but I am really looking foreward to rooting through a drawer, literally stirring up memories in their tangible form as photos, but also tingling memories of the days when the photos were taken, possibly.
There are many years and quite a few beers between then and now :)
