Dapper Gentleman – 1950s
The Dapper Gentleman at home
This vintage photo of the dapper gentleman was taken back when men wore ties even around the house. The purple trim on the robe is pretty cool too. I wonder where one could find a robe like that these days, and how much it’d cost. No doubt back in the 1950’s these robes c [...]

Back to Part 3: Epson Scan Software
Rather then make a list of step by step instructions on how to fix photos that are scanned in from 35mm slides, I will provide links to other resources. I suspect an entire book could be easily written about this subject.
To further complicate matters, the [...]

back to Part 2: Scanning Slides
The Epson Scan Software is pretty complicated at first. It has several downsides though.
First there is no real “auto-configuration” option like some scanners have. The software has to be reconfigured each time you switch formats. It also [...]

Part 1: Cleaning Slides
This is the most important, and most controversial step. The first thing to realize is that it’s very possible that your 35mm slides may already be ruined beyond repair. While slides were meant to last “for a lifetime,” many of them are actually into their second or third life. Even the newest slides [...]
Otter Crest -1982
Otter Crest is the name of the head here. Otter Rock is in the middle of the picture, out in the Pacific Ocean. This location is only about 3/4 of a mile north of Yaquina Head, Oregon. The rock is named due to the number of Sea Otters who used to live around the rock and around Otter Crest. The rock also lent it’s name to the nearby com [...]
Spottie’s Roadhouse – 196...
I though finding out information about Spottie’s Roadhouse was going to be easy. After all it’s the exact type of kitschy roadside attraction that was built a hundred times over along Route 66. To my surprise, I found Spottie’s Roadhouse was built outside of Cape Town, South Africa on the Polsmoor Road in Retreat.
The stor [...]
VW Bus
We saw this VW Bus a couple of days ago. It still in nondescript European country though. The slide is a few years newer then the first one, so I wonder if the girl in this picture was one of the two girls in the first one. Or if it’s someone else totally.
La Tour Eiffel – 1969
From an unknown date, two slides labeled “La Tour Eiffel.” Unfortunately the view is FROM the Eiffel tower, not OF the Eiffel Tower. Of course, I hear that the owners of the tower like to sue people who post pictures of it. So I’m probably better off posting the FROM pictures instead of the OF pictures.
But we have an gre [...]
