The return to service of the Canoscan 9000F scanner means I have a slide scanner again, so I can digitize these three slides that lingered in my desk drawer for years. I don’t know where these came from but I do not think they originated from the thousands of slides I scanned and posted<\/a> a long time ago.<\/p>\n

The first one shows a classic log jam. Hand-written on the slide I find “Pulp. N.H. – Maine.” Maine and New Hampshire share a long enough border, with enough bodies of water the border cuts through, for me to make determining the exact location of this photo essentially impossible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next one shows a bright, smiling, impossibly happy gathering of what I assume is family and\/or friends. It is dated February, 1965, and hand-written on the slide is “BRONX” and some other words I can’t quite read but it might say “Vres. pie Valas”.<\/p>\n

You have to ask why the one guy seems to have deliberately chosen not to look at the camera or raise no more than a smirk, instead of a smile.<\/p>\n

Photos like this make me miss masklessness all the more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The previous two slides were Kodachrome. This last one is Ektachrome, from April, 1971, with a hand-written note: “Chris DIS group Ferry Ride – rocking & quite windy 4\/71”.<\/p>\n
