My grandfather passed away a few years back, and my grandmother almost exactly a year before him. Without saying much about their passing, I would like to write about some of the things that they left behind. I should preface this post with the fact that over the years I’ve spent at college and the last one or two of high school I developed a strong interest in film photography.

Anyway, many of the things I saved from their house were related to photography in some fashion or another. I got a few rolls of really old film, a roll of shot yet undeveloped Kodachrome, some 16mm film, an old Argoflex camera + attachable flashbulb flash, a Kodak Photo CD camera, and a pile of old slides.

The pictures, for the most part, date back to my mother’s childhood, and were taken all over the world as my grandpa traveled extensively due to his job. Slowly over the last few years I’ve been scanning these slides, doing some basic touching up, color correcting, and archiving them. I have a cartridge or two to scan still, and I really haven’t shown them to anyone yet. I want to do something with them after I finish scanning them, but I’m not sure what. Maybe something online, but maybe something printed. I don’t know.
