IT really is a fantasy at this point - with or with out an indentured
servant... .
I'll be doing stuff in fits and starts
One thing that is good though, I virtually always shot tri-x and color -
maybe one roll of Tx to 10 of slides on some trips and
1 to 5 on others. ALways shot a lot of in camera dups when I thought I
had something right (amazing how often that is a disappointment when one
gets home!)
however all this discussion got me into doing a slightly different chore
of a simillar nature... loading things from CD's onto the new computer
that may have gotten trashed on the old one in one of the drive crashes...
Included - a couple of them that Wheatfield burned for me while I was
staying chez Robb in Regina in 2005..
but those were all taken with darkside point and shoot

I recently went thru over 25K slides from the late 60's to 2004. I had
already edited them pretty closely so I thought these were all keepers!,
It took me several days with the Pentax 5.5X lupe and my lightbox.
I couldn't believe how many of the images that I thought were keepers
were discarded! I couldn't recall alot of the people shown and alot of
places where I said to myself why the hell did I ever take and keep
this image.
I culled the 25K down to around 1K in the hopes that some day I'll get
around to scanning them. I've scanned a few but the majority are just
sitting there waiting til I get a round tu it.

Subject: Re: (another) film/slides question
What I'd really like is to sit with my notes while an "intern" takes out
the numbered boxes that correspond to my notes and my journal,
sets up the projector and a screen, makes sure ll the slides are
oriented correctly and puts them in the stack loader andhands me the
remote control - lowers the lights... makes a pile of slides that I have
selected and put them to one side, put the ones I liked best back in the
stack loader. lists the frames that are best and put everything back in
the box except the absolute totaly blurred out or blank slides.
This prevents what always happens when I do the work myself... tripping
over cords, dropping slides, dropping whole boxes of slides,
put thumb on slide, put the slides in the stacker upside down, drop my
notes... etc... burn my finger touching the projector.
I had planned that in my dotage I would have nothing to do but this
process - that turns out not to be the case.
THey already are in drawers packed neatly and labeled - many in steel
filing cabinets.
I think its time for my nap now
