I had a crazy moment where I decided that scanning in all the family photos was a great idea... I have scanned just under 1000 now and barely made a dent so am starting to wonder what I got myself into! It's great though, I do enjoy it. Particularly scanning in the slides and negatives as I don't know what I'm going to get. I found these fantastic ones of my mum and her sisters when they were kids.
It has really got me thinking about photography and digital vs. film. I was looking through the slides of dads adventures around Australia on his first trip. I really love the idea of not having a thousand and one photos, trying to get that perfect snap! It's nice to not know what you're going to get, it's more fun, the pictures seem to have alot more quirks. I always remember how exciting it was finishing a role of film and taking it in to get developed. So that's what I was thinking about because I have my trip coming up! And I'd really like to do something special like that. hm, so many ideas!!! Anyway, I received my digital camera back from the shop today, complete with new lense under warranty, atleast I wasn't imagining things and more importantly, i can get back to picture taking adventures!
I have 28 more sleeps until I get to go on a plane and fly into London! It's very exciting. The plane trip alone is exciting enough! I don't have any plans for over there just yet, nothing set in stone anyway. I should probably organise a couple of things... even if it's just some accomodation for when I first get there.
On my outing to the pub friday night something I found interesting was brought to my attention... It mentions no where that Humpty Dumpty is an egg!!! And yet he is depicted as one in each illustration! I'd never thought about it before, so it amused me greatly and I've done a bit of research on it and found out alot of different theories. I guess the most informative site was good ol' Wikipedia...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty
My goodness... is that Pa? With hair? I seriously did not recognise him at first! And I can't tell which sister is which... I guess my mum is the biggest cos she is the oldest, right? But I just can't see the resemblance... weird. But thanks for posting these! It's really interesting to see them and I love how grainy they are too =)
