My Dad was a shutterbug; he loved to take photographs, and he took a lot of them. That’s where I get it from. This is a wonderful thing for collecting a treasure trove of family memories.\u00a0On the other hand, neither he nor my mom were the organizing type who enjoyed putting together photo albums.\u00a0As a result, I’ve inherited about 30+ boxes packed full of random family photos and other mementos.<\/p>\n

I’ve got my work cut out for me.<\/p>\n

Add to that, I’ve got the world’s \u00a0S L O W E S T \u00a0scanner.<\/p>\n

Yes, yes, I know. I can pack them all up and ship them off to a service that will scan them all in for me, quickly, and for a nominal fee. Nominal being defined as an arm and a leg, and my first-born child. But I’ve already lost a few body parts in the past couple years so I have none to spare, and I wouldn’t give up my first born for my life; that option is not on the table.<\/p>\n

So back to the slow scanner, and my ADHD.<\/p>\n

[That’s Grandpa. He was a dentist. I’m sure his patient there would be thrilled to know he’s been immortalized in my blog. Just doing my part here, helping everyone live forever.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

ADHD? Oh, yeah. \u00a0I get distracted easily. Especially when going through old pictures. \u00a0I was that kid who could never complete cleaning her room because I KEPT FINDING THE COOLEST STUFF IN THERE. Sorry for yelling, but you have no idea just how cool some of your own stuff can be. Especially when you’re supposed to be cleaning.<\/p>\n

There’s just so much to see in here.<\/p>\n

There’s proof that my dad once had a\u00a0mustache<\/p>\n

There are good times<\/p>\n

\"Bivouac\"<\/a><\/p>\n

garage bands<\/p>\n

\"111126-005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and precious memories<\/p>\n

\"dad145\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What am I going to do with all these pictures? I’m really not sure yet. \u00a0For starters, I’ve got to get them scanned in quickly because they are starting to fade, and some are falling apart. \u00a0Also, storage space is becoming a problem; my husband has accused me of being a photo-hoarder, and he’s not entirely wrong.<\/p>\n

But once they’re scanned in, what next? \u00a0I’m going to upload them to our family Flickr page, and hopefully family members will help with tagging names, dates, and locations, and then at least we will have the photographs in one central location that is accessible to everyone. After that? Well, that’s a few years out yet. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of photos. They have their own closet in our home.<\/p>\n

So, now it’s time to get back to work. I’ve got some skeletons to dig out of my family’s closet<\/p>\n
