Old photos

December Photo Challenge @deadgrlsuppastar

30. Resolutions

I don't make New Years Resolution, but one thing I would like to get done this year is to scan and digitize a whole suitcase full of old family photos that belonged to my grandparents and were given to me over 30 years ago. Maybe if I put it down here as a resolution, I will actually do it this year.

But it is simply too much to think about doing the whole cupboard full of albums and boxes full of old film photos that I have accumulated over the years. Maybe if I get the suitcase done I can think of starting on the cupboard!

Hi @melinda010100! You have received 0.1 SBD tip + 0.02 SBD @tipU from @dmcamera :)

Check out new tipuvote! feature :)

If only I lived near you, I'd gladly help you with this project,no questions asked. I'm a sucker for letters, postcards, and everything worth looking back.

Good luck with your project! I am really hoping to see them on your posts!

Thanks for saying that! Now I have more incentive to get busy with this project!

That's some resolution! You should see my boxes and boxes of photos and slides though! I get overwhelmed just looking at the boxes! Let me know how you get on. I'm running out of voting power, so here's a tip!

Thanks so much for the tip! It is overwhelming, isn't it?

Haha! You just sent the tip back to me, so I'll try again. It's easy to do that when you say thanks. LOL! I have no idea where to start with mine, as they are all over the house in boxes! :-( I do know that i do need to work on it soon!

That is not the first time I have done that. I may have an exclamation point problem. You are so sweet. ❤

Good luck with your project!

As soon as my company leaves I'll get started! Tuesday!!

Oh wow! It sounds like it will be a big project but just as wonderful also!! There is just something about going through old photos and the memories they stir! Wishing you and your family a beautiful New Year!!

Thank you, my friend! Happy New Year!

How nice to have those memories! If love to have such pictures of my family you are blessed Melinda! Good luck!❤️❤️

Some of them are from the 1800s. I haven't looked through them in years, so that part will be fun! They are treasures.

I love old photos but I do understand the work that will be involved in that project.

I made a mess for myself that I now need to deal with. When getting the Christmas tree out of the attic I also removed old boxes... Who knows what all is in them but I've not needed any of it for about 11 years now. Silly me thought it would be good to go through them.

I should go back in time and kick myself. Ha!!

Maybe there's a reason this happened @debralee Perhaps you are being called to find something special in one of the boxes! Good luck and have fun!

Thank you. That thought had crossed my mind. I'm hoping I have time to start going through them today.

I like to find old things,
Sure old pictures are the best.
You can make a digital photo album on the Internet

I will! I'm actually looking forward to getting started.

@melinda010100 I wait could digitize all these photos, in them it is many years of recollections and special moments

That is true! They are treasures.

I thought these challenges only ran for a day...I posted an 'old family photo' way back,...I got loads of them I could post.
Now, it's almost too late :(

Well, you can do some of them this weekend! I'd love to see your choices for some of the different days!

I see now, the challenge for this date is "resolutions" not old photos.
I don't do resolutions.
I could post some more old photos though...however I'm playing at 3 pm both today and tomorrow.
I need to get off my butt (and off this computer) and go out to my car for a music book
To practice "The Tiger Rag" for one of the residents where I'll be playing today.
As soon as I finish eating this cereal, I will do that, so any of those old photo
Posts will have to wait until later tonight. ♥

tip! :-)

Just do one package at a time. Break it down to small chunks. It's important to preserve those images @melinda010100

I've been saying how important it is and putting it off for years now. Time to get it done!

Good for you Melinda. Nail that project.

Yep that's a lot of work to be done but would need to be done. We lost a lot of photos when we had a termite infestation. Memories all gone 😢

Yes, it is time to do them so that they are safe! I'm sorry you lost some of yours. If they are safely stored on Google I will no longer worry about them being lost.

Perfect better be safe than sorry. I still think about it this day most of my baby pictures lost forever.

I love old photos. I have a ton of them too....but I need a new scanner, mine takes forever. I always wanted to frame them and do a wall of photos, but then I realized I'd have to dust!!! So, it's a no go. I'll visit them on my photo library.

I am going to try using a scanner app on my phone. I need to get better using it, but I think it may be quicker than my scanner. I'll figure it out, eventually!

A scanner phone app? I never knew there was such a thing. I'll have to look into that.

Google has one, but I'm not very good with it. I've
used a couple others that seem easier, but I don't have a lot of experience with them yet.

sounds like great new year reselution :D i doo love the bag filled with pictures, gives a old feel, yeah i actually liike that :D

It will be fun to sort through them!

Yeah, me neither... never did make resolutions...
But your intent to digitise the old photos is what I should do too... Don't want to lose them to age and accidents!
Have a very Happy New Year's eve and New Year ahead... not just on the 1st but all the days of the year... 💖

You're definitely blessed with nostalgic moments! @melinda010100 Can you imagine how many precious memories are going to come back as you complete your project?❤📸Please give us some hints and pointers. My mom has all of our family photos on slides, under plastic sheets in photo albums, as well as 8 mm and VHS movies. I have no idea how and where to start...

I suspect I will be stumbling along through this! I will, hopefully, learn as I go, and if I ever do get it figured out I'll let you know! My son put all of our old VHS tapes onto CDs several years ago, but I have no clue how that happened! And my uncle paid to have all his 8mm home movies put onto VHS...and now something should be done to update those. It seems like a never ending process!

If only someone had the foresight to invent Cloud storage decades ago, Melinda!
