The title of the this thread is random OLD pictures YOU have resurrected. (not "taken")

The reason (for this thread) being that some of us have cool OLD family photo's . . .which we are resurrecting for the digital world. Every once in a while ya come across a photo or two that others may find pretty cool.

My Father and one of his Jags, circa 1970 or so.

My Dad's mom, her father and my Dad's older brother when he was born in 1921. He was a "blue baby" as a result of having the umbilical chord wrapped around his neck at birth, and you can see all of the concern in my grandmother's face. I believe that the picture was taken by my grandfather.

BTW - My uncle lived a productive life and died in 1999.

The 2nd and 3rd cars I ever owned, a '71 914 and a '73 914 2 liter. Both taken in the dead of winter about Jan. or Feb. '77, the '73 is getting a jump from a friend's Chevy Nova. It was way below zero that day:

A mystery person from an old family album. No one knows who he is any more. Based on the uniform all that I know is that he was a private Grenadier in the II. Seebataillon (Imperial German Marines) based in Wilhelmshaven, either pre-WWI or early in the war. I added the colors based on a modern picture of a jacket from this unit.

A 155 mm "Long Tom" gun (not a cannon as my Dad has reminded me on occasion) from his unit somewhere in Europe during WWII, as part of Patton's 3rd Army.

I don't have many old pics scanned, but here are a few. First is of me and my Mom around '69, I'm 10 y.o. and that's our new Ford Maverick and my Dad's '67 Mustang in the background. Same exact parking spot as the '73 914 in above photo. My first jean jacket, I do believe:

Going to another school's prom with my Dad's partner's daughter in spring of '76, he let me take his V-12 Jag E-type and my hair dried in the sun with top down at speed on the way to her house. I still remember it well, I was always running late. (Some things never change) :rolleyes:
[Bummer, I couldn't upload this one because it's a "tif file"] :confused:

Here's my 8th grade school picture from Susan B. Anthony JHS:

Denis,

Convert it from a .tif to a .jpg. If you cannot do it, email it to me and can do it for you.

How do I convert it? (If I can't do it, I'll take you up on your generous offer).

You need a program that works with images.

Not that old, but here's me in the Yucatan (Tulum), 1994

Here is a pretty old one, probably around 1910 but I am not sure exactly. My grandpa is the young boy in the lower right.

He was adopted by a family in rural Indiana. They look like a real fun-loving bunch, eh?

Regarding the photos, not the slides, are you guys just scanning your photos or taking them somewhere to be converted to digital?

Using a Canon Pixma MP800r - printer/scanner/copier which will scan slides/photos/35mm negatives - it does four slides at a time or a strip of negative in a holder - quick and astonishing quality from negatives and slides.

Sllde from 1970

Slide from 1976 - the Burroughs B3500 computer at JCB Excavators UK.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1174925006.jpg

Wow what an appropriate thread, my grandparents dropped of boxes of slides at my parents house a few weeks ago and my mom was asking me about converting them I have no idea what you would use. I have a HP G55X1 Printer Scanner Copier here at work, can I use that to convert all the old slides? Or we have a HP 5510 all in one. Will either of those work? I know a lot of slides are from the 50-60-70's when my grandparents traveld to Italy and Germany to visit us.
