Falls Passing
The end of the year always seems to accelerate. I ran to the store this afternoon in shorts. I was one of, oh, two people in shorts. I wasn’t that cold but I did feel like I was holding onto a passing season. The leaves are hitting the ground and the chill in the air isn’t a passing morning thing anymore. It won’t be long until I’m complaining and wondering how far away spring may be. I look forward to Costa Rica and Nicaragua in the midst of winter to bring me back a bit.
I spent the weekend cleaning up some old family photos. I got a new and better scanner, which includes some adapters to hold film. So, I’ve scanned in some more old photos and worked on the tears and nicks, etc. I also tested out the film scanner with mixed results. The negatives I chose were of photos I’d never seen before. So, that was cool, but they were also not cared for so well and were probably more damaged than a lot of the photos I’ve restored. Still worth it. It’s a delicate line working on those old photos. One of my great, great grandfather from near the turn of the century was badly damaged. I cleaned it up for hours, and I finally hit a point that I had gotten the people as repaired as possible. The background was still a bit worse for the wear but continuing would make the photo look way less vintage for lack of a better word. As many old photos as I have, I’ll be a near expert when I finish this.
I’ve also had time to work on a few more photos from England.
