So back in January, I finally bit the bullet, and decided in a fit of mania to finally sort all our photos out that were in shoe-boxes, and get them scanned. The picture below is I think about three shoe-boxes in!
Now here's a tip, if you are planning on doing this yourself, this bit is easy, the scanning, my advice, give it to professionals to do. My precious collection was scanned in by Angelo at Fitzgerald Labs. They did an awesome job, and also checked all the negatives were checked against prints. A huge job, and its not over yet.
Six months later I am still doing the file-naming and key-wording but it will be great once it done and archived. Next, all the old albums! Enjoy.
