Scanning Old Photos

 

Me and Ken with the Stanley Cup

I recently went away for a scrapbooking weekend with my friends and family. I wasn't in the mood to lug my scrapbooking supplies around, so I only brought a few smaller projects. I had coloring books and colored pencils for those moments when I really didn't want to do anything. I also had my laptop, tablet, photo scanner, and several boxes of old photos. 

My first priority was to finish up my nephew's senior pictures. I had some editing left to do from our summer session. I am happy to report I am all caught up now!  I finished up his baseball pics and sent them off to his mom. 

Once I had completed that task, I colored for a bit. Eventually, after my sister finished borrowing my computer to do some video editing for her job, I hooked up my photo scanner and started feeding in pictures. I have a feeling I have some of these floating around on an external drive or CD somewhere, but, just in case I can't find them in the future, I scanned them in any way. Once they were scanned in, I saved them to the cloud and organized them into folders. Here's a brief overview of the type of photos I stumbled across in this emotional trip down memory lane.

And these were just pictures I put into albums.  There are so many scans just free-floating on my cloud that still need to be sorted.  I think I probably scanned close to a thousand pictures over the weekend and into Monday night.
