I'm going to digitize my old photo negatives and slides

I have a lot of old photo negatives and slides. I used to be into photography when I was younger before the advent of digital photography.

I’ve ordered a device to do it.

The only problem is 30 year old negatives will have faded a bit. But at least I still have them.

I wonder how many digital photos will last 30 years :thinking:

I’m excited about starting it. Just have to wait for the digitizer device to arrive.

Sounds awesome! I have an album of pictures from my teenage years and younger, I should digitize them as well. Scan them and save them on my Time Machine

Do you guys remember disposable cameras? I still have a few I never got developed. It has been years, I wonder what is in those now.

It’s definetely good to backup those old memories. How are you doing? It’s sounds like you’re a big success. You said people were beginning to send you free stuff now. That’s means you’re offically an “influencer”. Pretty cool ! :sunglasses:

I think I have one of those from a holiday I went on. I wish I’d gotten it developed when film was still a thing.

I don’t know. I am doing okay. I’ve been exercising with a vegan diet for like the past 6 months and I have not lost any weight. I feel so discouraged these days. I’m assuming it’s the Wellbutrin. I eat like 1200-1400 calories a day of healthy vegan food. How is this possible? I do 10K steps 5x a week, weight lifting, circuit training. I think I’m getting bulkier actually.

My work is going well. I am receiving free beauty products, boxes but it will take much more time to actually make any $$$ from it which is what I wanted. My relationship is still the same, I don’t know if I will have the courage to move out as I can’t have a full-time job with these meds.

I was in my hometown in February, I went to see my dad and he passed away while I was there, I was even at his funeral.

What about you?

I remember I had one I was taking pictures of Tijuana with for my girlfriend at the time. At the border crossing there was a wanted sign for a few drug traffickers. I took a picture of it. I didn’t realize right above there was a sign that read “No photographs”. A border patrol agent went up to me and told me it was illegal to take photos of that. Surprisingly he didn’t confiscate my camera and let me go without getting me into trouble.

Both drug traffickers have since been apprehended. One was killed in a shootout at a Dorian’s (which is like a Macy’s) and the other was caught and is serving a long prison sentence.

I’m really sorry to hear about your father. That must have been tough.

I’m doing well these days. The famous broccoli supplement may be actually doing something. I’ll know for sure when the bottle runs out.

It sounds like you’re really healthy and fit though. If you’re doing all that exercise.

I’m sure you’ll make a lot of money just have to give it some time.

Oh no. That’s hilarious ! Also strange. I wonder why that was.

If you store digital photos store them in more than one place like a cloud storage like Dropbox or Google drive or one drive etc.

Because hardware can fail too

I’m also going to print out the important ones and stick them in an album. I’ve never used the cloud for storage but might investigate it. Thanks.

Yes. There’s a thread about it here.

I’ve been feeling much happier. It took a few weeks to kick in.
