- Go to Old Photos
I started scrapbooking but quickly got overwhelmed with all my photos in boxes. Polaroids are bad news, if you cut one the picture will disappear!
I'm apologizing in advance for saying this, but you had the funniest typo at the beginning, "poped in"--and it made me laugh my ass off.

Whacky46,
Wouldn't it be nice if someone had made the extra effort and had written information on the back of every picture? My father did on most of his photos and that is really great. One of my daughters and my daughter in law always writes the date, the subjects name and the time and place a photo was taken. I should be so self deciplined.
I recently had several films developed from twenty plus years ago of the children when they were small. I had a bag full of film that accumulated over the years that we couldn't afford to have developed at that time. Believe it or not, the pictures have a pink caste, but they are really nice. The subjects come through just fine. I do have a couple 110 films, that I sent to a company that is suppose to develop the really older film, but I haven't heard back from them, yet. I bought my first camera in about 1969 with one of my first paychecks and it took 110 film. I enjoyed your post.

Thanks for the info. I don't think my family would agree to use b/w film for photos even after knowing they would fade after some years.

Whacky, I love this post and the pics you showed in the last one. I did know that about polaroids and old color pics because I have a lot that are so faded it is pitiful.

Isn't science wonderful Whacky46. Before, with old photographs, as you said, you had a whole room full of crap photos you would never look at again. Now you can have a million times more crap photos - but they are imprisoned inside a computer.

Wow. I feel like I'm sitting in that room with you. Thanks for sharing all of this. It's fascinating, and I feel so privileged, somehow!
