Scanning the past

Recently my mate Tony has asked me to scan some old colour slides of photos taken by his Grandad. I jumped at the chance for three reasons, first of all I like to do this sort of thing, as it makes the inaccessible, accessible (as he doesn’t have a projector). Secondly It justifies the cost of my expensive film scanner, and thirdly all the slides were shot in the legendary Kodachrome.

I was around his house recently (well sensibly distancing in the back garden anyway) when we started talking about his Grandad’s old cameras and and slides that he had been bequeathed . All the cameras and slides were in near perfect condition as they have obviously been well looked after.

Tony (who by the way is the little cherubic fella on the tricycle) has kindly allowed me to display some of the pictures on this site, click here to have a peak
