Out with the Old

Out with the old – in with the new. This picture of two garbage bags represents over 25 years of slide taking in the pursuit of garden writing. And a technology that’s no longer useful. Slides.

I’ve spent the last 10 nights going through all my old slides that were left in the files (I tossed one full garbage bag two years ago when we moved into our new home) and these two bags represent those slides I’m not going to scan with the new slide scanner.

I’ve been taking digital pics for the last few years but there are some good pics left on the slides that I can’t replace. So with the adition of a slide scanner (Epson V300) I’m set to add the survivors to the digital world. Most of these are gardens I’ve visited over the years and these will be used in some writing projects.

And oh yeah – I have this many slides left to scan – a full boxful – all in their sleeves waiting for their date to be scanned.
