\t\t\t\tThis is neat. I randomly discovered Jigidi.com<\/a><\/strong>, a site with a jigsaw-puzzle generating application that turns any image into a puzzle. This is something I attempted to do years ago but came up short for lack of Flash skills. Jigidi is yet another outlet<\/a><\/strong> for my digital hoard of countless found photos<\/a><\/strong> and slides I purchased over the years, not to mention scans of cover images and artwork from “The Etude” music magazine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Glass Mounted Kodachrome Slide, c.1930s\/1940s\"Jigsaw<\/a><\/div>\n

As often happens inside my overanalytical mind I sometimes find myself questioning the morals of “found photos” and sharing memories of strangers as if I have a right to capitalize on them in any way. I’ve mucked around with these slides enough that in some cases I find that the family memories entombed within them become my memories, and the experiences recorded there assimilated into my life.<\/p>\n

The above image is from a glass-mounted Kodachrome slide, probably from the 1930s. Originally I believed it to be from earlier — the 1920s, I thought. It may actually be that old but a current look into the history of Kodachrome seems to suggest Kodak did not introduce glass mounted slides until the 1930s.<\/p>\n
