Great Grandpa's Stash

Dad has been going through boxes Granpa David's files, papers and pictures for months now. He saved so many interesting things including most of the love letters he wrote to grandma while they were dating (very cute!). Among the pics dad found a bunch of slides that he sent me and that I have been trying to figure out how to digitize... I had some time the other day and what did I do...? Yes of course... I googled it!!! ...figuring I had to take these to someone else to do but the first article I found was a simple at-home process with a digital camera. My technique needs some improving but I did a quick few to share here. There's moi of course, Jaleh, Dad and Grandma!!

Beautiful pictures, and I'm loving the similarity between you and your own kids. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the rest of the slides.

Cool. So what's the trick? Do you illuminate the slide and then take a digital photo of it, or what?

Love to all,

Bumpa

I thought these pictures had been lost forever.

Both boys look so much like you in these pictures, especially Isaiah - the eyes.

Thanks, Colin, for showing us it can be done
