An old friend’s<\/a> comment on one of my Facebook posts got me digging through my old slides, looking for this hanging I made, I think in 1979:<\/p>\n

And looking at the slides got me thinking about how to digitize them. Of course, I could send them off and get them done for real; they’re 35mm slides so lots of info. But I wondered about an at-home method, so I searched and found some fairly hilarious YouTube vids<\/a> on how to digitize your slides with a cereal box and a clothes pin.<\/p>\n

Here’s my quick and even dirtier attempt, holding the slide over a lamp with a sheet of paper diffusing the light, shot on iPhone 6:<\/p>\n

I love the look<\/a> – This weekend I’m getting out my tabletop tripod and digital SLR, and clothes pins and binder clips, and scourging the pantry for a mostly empty box cereal or Triscuit box, to set up my rig. Most of my slides are like this – images of things I made. There’re lots of pictures of people’s backs, with backpacks I made for them from their old jeans. But there are a couple of boxes with pics of my parents and my brother – in Hollywood, where he lived in the 1980s <grin>; nature shots; all kinds of stuff.<\/p>\n

I’ll let you know how it comes out.<\/p>\n
