General: “Old Photos” project

On July 15th 2012,  embarked on project to digitise my old 35mm films and slides. I've got around 100 films, mostly 36 shots per film.  Estimated will take 5 months and actually finished it just now, so was spot on for my estimate.

Was quite monotonous at times, but was fun to relive some of the events in my life, a few I had totally forgotten about !

Here are a few pictures thought would be interesting to share, in no particular order:-

I’m the one on the left !  New Year eve 1981… had hair back then…

From 1993, but no idea what’s going on…..

One of my earliest photos of Aldeburgh High street, not sure when but probably 30+ years or so…

Where were you when Live Aid was on (July 1985)  I was in this holiday cottage and watched it from midday to midnight.   Probably only remember the first three or fours hours for some reason though Smile

I seem to have a lot of photo’s from Aldeburgh Smile This time Carnival time in 1991

Also seem to go to Brooklands Motor Museum a lot… this one what it looked like in 1995 (there’s an industrial estate at the bottom of the hill now!)

Many trips to our timeshare at Carihuela (Costa Del Sol) always lovely weather of course….

Our old neighbours party (2000) – 1970’s theme in case you’re wondering…

It’s not all holidays, cars and parties…. went to Rome for a long weekend for some culture in 2005….

The fish is definitely fresh in Aldeburgh… this from circa 1980, although the fisherman is probably still going strong now….

You don’t often see gigs like this “True Life Confessions” one back in early eighties anymore… think they call them something else nowadays Smile

My love of gardening started with my first house in 1988……

That’s all for the moment.  Will doubtless get the urge again to post up some of my more recent digital photo’s, but there are even more of those to trawl through !!
