We picked up Pandigital photo scanner thingie this week, a neat little device not much bigger than two cell phones stacked, that scans photos and saves them direct to a memory card. No PC required, although it does come with a USB cable.
Results are pretty good so far. The scan process takes about 4 seconds per photo, and while at 300dpi the images are just okay, it's a decent way to quickly digitize mountains of 4"x6" pics. Alot easier than lining them up on a flatbed.
I already have saved a number of photos I had of Karin, around the condo and on our various outings, as well as a Mt Sherman climb we did in 1992 (?) and one Desolation trip, which I believe was 1997. Will probably throw one or two of these up on Facebook by the by.
Missing the days when the actually photo process date was printed on the backs of prints. Our documentation for all these pictures wasn't real good - relying on memory and bits and pieces in the photos themselves to date them.
It occurred to me, especially scanning the pics of Karin, I could not have managed to do this 5 years ago. No way.
Time blunts, does it not?
