Ok so today I’m going waaaaayyyyy back……… close to 40 years. YIKES! As I celebrate 40 years of wandering this world I decided to dig into the boxes of old slides my Father took of me growing up. Here are a few from babyhood to some early Birthday Parties. Wow check out the cool home-made hats. Perhaps I can convince Dave and the boys to hit the town tonight in some of these.

I am so grateful for the unique and wonderful childhood I had and these photos remind me of that. I will make it a mission this year to help preserve these memories. These slides were scanned on a cheap desktop scanner and I am not super happy with the quality.

Sending hundreds upon hundreds of photos out for professional scanning is cost prohibitive as is buying a quality scanner. Thus my increased use of rental services. With the price of pro photo gear and accessories beyond my current budget I am finding an increased use of rental services. I’ve been very happy with the services provided by Borrowed Lens a great photo equipment rental company.  This seems like the perfect job for rental equipment.

So In this my 40th year I vow to better archive the past, enjoy my present and of course wear more silly hats!
