Today, I bought a flatbed scanner. Nothing fancy, just a $100 model, but I’m having fun with it. I spent the afternoon scanning some old photos, several student ID cards, some sketches, some text: testing the waters.

I even made a very naive attempt at scanning a few frames of my old Super8 opus, “STOP”, but I was unimpressed by the results. A few enterprising nerds have made a decent go of home-rolled film scanning, though, so perhaps with time I’ll make it work and replace the sub-par telecine transfer I had made a while back.

There should be a spate of new posts in the photography section, consequently; old photos and other misc. on which I can comment. Bated breath!
