Do you suffer, as I did, with headaches and anxiety attacks over boxes and boxes (and more boxes) of old negatives and slides? Is your spouse giving you dirty looks over those boxes and talking about, oh my goodness, downsizing? Well, scanning would work, but I’d need another lifetime to do all that scanning.

Check out my new class at www.kelbyone.com on my camera scanning technique and a bunch of helpful hints on the best and quickest way to digitize your old negatives, slides, and flat art. The quality is as good as if not better than desktop scanners.

Here’s one of my tips on how to better handle your negatives in archival pages: https://tinyurl.com/5p3jvh5f

The photos below arejust three “found gems” that I rediscovered in my archives. They were street photos taken when I was a teenager and ended up in an exhibit of 11 of my photos in a show at the Rochester Museum and Science Center in Rochester, NY.

Here are two comments online about my Scanning With A Camera class:

“This is an excellent class. Great breadth of topics related to scanning ‘analog’ film sources, digitizing them and processing them to look their best. Jack is a clear speaker and explainer. Definitely something to use as reference for us fellow “hoarders” of older images (and flat art or prints)!“

And:

“Quite simply one of the best courses I’ve watched on KelbyOne. Thank you so much Jack, for coming up with something that is hugely informative throughout the first chapters, then becoming incredibly moving towards the end. What a body of work you have! What memories for you and all the people, communities you’ve photographed. “
