Old Photo Album Scanning Project

by Mike Browne on December 19, 2009

in activity,media

Our friend Mark picked up an old photo album at an estate sale that he went to last year. For some reason he gave it to us. It has been sitting in Carol’s office gathering more dust for the past months. After a visit from another creative friend last week I felt inspired to deal with it.

I have decided to scan the photos and postcards within to try and determine who the creator was, what their lives were like, where they traveled and perhaps learn a little bit. Oddly enough there are many pages with no photos or photos missing. I presume this is where the photos of people used to live as there are not many faces in this album. It sort of adds to the mystique.

So I have set up my special scanning station at the kitchen table for this undertaking.

Scanning Set Up & Assistant

This is the set up I am using to import the photos so I can share them. From left to right on the table are the photo album, MacBook Pro and a Brother MFC-210C scanner. On the chair is my assistant, Oscar Madison Bigglesworth Browne.

Prosperity and Abundance

Prosperity and Abundance, originally uploaded by MikeBrowne.

My life is full of prosperity and abundance. Here’s a picture of some of it. Prosperity is in the middle in the form of a black cat. The abundance is represented by warty gourds. It all sits against the North wall of our dining room. Good feng shui.
