Then and Now

Last week I began a project that will probably take me 3 months to finish.  Ever since Adam was born, I have kept the negatives for every photograph I've taken until I switched to a digital camera in 2002.  The negatives are all neatly tucked into pockets of a binder.  All of my digital photos are nicely organized into folders on my computer, by year/month/event, but whenever I want a photo of my kids when they were little,  I need to go to photo albums and scan them into the computer.  

I discovered recently that my photo scanner is also capable of scanning negatives, and the negatives scan into a much better digital image than trying to scan printed photos.  So my big job this winter

is to scan my negatives and digitalize those photos that are worth keeping.

As I am scanning the baby pictures,  I am frequently struck by how much my adult kids look like their baby pictures!   I decided it would be fun to pair up a few photos to demonstrate this.  

It is really amazing.

(Sorry, Annie, but I haven't gotten to your baby pictures yet).
