At some point in the last 10 years, I volunteered to be the family historian and archivist, so my father and mother have sent me many boxes of photographs, slides, negatives, transparencies, and Super-8 video reels. These images document my family, my childhood, my father’s Peace Corps service in the Dominican Republic, and even my grandfather’s travels in the 1940s.
There’s a lot of family history to organize and file away on the family tree.
I finally ordered a new flatbed scanner.
Today I unboxed an Epson Perfection V600 and reached to the stack of photos on my desk. On top was the image you see above, an instant photo of me and Erin in Provence taken by the proprietor of Maison º9 took during our stay at that lovely inn. That stay in Cassis was part of our memorable trip to France to celebrate our twentieth anniversary.
My plan is to spend this winter organizing the materials and scan what I can, blogging along the way.
