Was scanning some family slides and thought id try to scan some slides on top of each other to try to get that double exposure look..It worked!!!...im sure i could get some really cool double exposure scans w/ all the slides we have but its just so much work..maybe another day. Here are a few examples...

Random Flick of the Week

So along w/ the 8mm movies i have started to scan the reels of slides that we have. There are about 100 slides per reel w/ about 9 reels and it takes like 4-6 minutes to scan 4 slides at a time. It took me almost 3hrs to scan in the 1st reel. There are some really great pics from back when we lived in Japan. Thinking of maybe mixing them in w/ the 8mm movies and making a lil mini family movie or whatever.

I missed a couple of weeks for my Random Flick of the week, so here i give u two. 1st up is actually from the 1st reel of slides and was in some science center in Japan

Second is an Owl crossing warning sign in Taiwan.

What was Old is Now New

Seing all the picture albums and keepsakes @ my Grandmas inspired me to rummage through my families own stuff. So this is what I found. I knew we had a bunch of slides cause my dad always wanted to watch them but i never did as a child. Now w/ my film scanner im thinking of scanning all the slides and checking them out. I also found a box full of old 8mm film reels along w/ the projector. I took it out and fooled around w/ it and played one reel. It was a trip to see it ill post some up later when i get them onto the comp. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my dad kept the actual 8mm camera that he filmed the movies on so that i can mess around w/ it. Granted it still operates and i can get a hold of 8mm film?

I also found some old pics of my mom, a small Taiwan flag that is now hanging up in my room, my parents wedding pictures, and these Taiwan flag stickers. I love stickers!
