Slip Sliding Away

Well Melody's brother and his wife are in Edmonton this week. We were all together at her parents along with her nephew and his new wife.
We decided to pull the collection of old family slides out. What better way to introduce the newest member of the family to everyone.
Melody took this shot of a huge pile of slides that we really need to organize better. That is a project for another time

[Glendq]

what a great shot
have fun together.

[Louise & Ken]

I love this and that it looks so retro!

[Cathie]

I love this shot, brian! We have thousands of slides, too. I'm thinking that getting them digitized and organized would be the perfect post retirement job for me! I can hardly wait to get my hands on them! I'm sure we have lots of photos of my son when he was a baby :-)

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Tony]

Looks like a ton of memories in that shot.

[Sheralee S]

That's a lot of slides! Gotto love family slide night :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice collection. It would be worthwhile to take digital copies of the lot.

[Nancy]

Great memories...should be lots of fun!

[Brianna]

Wow, sure looks like a lot of work! Bet you'll have fun looking back at these memories though. Great shot!

[Candace]

This is a great way to be together as a family, who doesn't have a pile of these!

[Terry]

Life time of memories on there

[Carole Imes]

We have tons of those around here-- No slide projector (or whatever was used) though. Have fun rekindling old memories!

[Sian B]

A trip down memory lane indeed!!

[Néfertiti]

que des souvenirs!

[Stephanie Swift]

Great idea to shoot this. Reminds me of when I used to takes slides. Hope you had a wonderful family visit!

[KWind]

I have a big box of my grandparents old slides. Luckily my uncle scanned them for me.

[Gerry]

Great photo Brian

[Hubregt Visser]

Beautiful. That brings memories.

[Pyrrhula]

Who of our kids recognize this and know what they are ? Great shot Have a nice time to organize it.

[Pat Knowles]

My word you are going to have some fun here......take your pick!

[Danette Thompson]

I hear that you should be making images of the slides.

[Fisher Family]

I was saying to dad only the other day we should have a slide show the next time I'm home! But I insist that there's a tub of mint choc chip ice cream, the two always seemed to go together in our house! Great shot, it's amazing to think the next generation might not even know what to do with slides! - Lucy

[Anita Campbell]

Oh good grief, Brian. Do you have to remind me. This is a GREAT shot, but it's all too familiar. We have hundreds and hundreds of these. My Dad took slides from early 40s to into the 70s, I took them from late 50s to 83. And they ALL need to be sorted, categorized, tossed or digitized..... and I don't want to do it..... Too busy with 365, etc. Love the "old" feel of this shot, however. Does anyone take slides on a daily basis now? At least photo hobbyists?

[Lisa Pouncy]

My Dad had hundreds of these and every so often we'd have a slide show. It was a very fond memory for me xx

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Great photo it bringa back memories my Aunty and Uncl always had slides and show them to the family:)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot. It sounds like you had a nice time with visiting family. It must have been fun looking at all the slides. I love looking at old photographs.

[Peggy Scroggins]

Fun shot. I remember those.

[Mrs. Smith]

Oh wow! My dad has tons of these!

[Bankmann]

Ooh… reminds me of the job I have ahead of me… My father left a huge collection… and apparently no filing system… ;-p

[Michael Smith]

We have boxes of these! Great idea!

[Claire]

Argh! These will get scratched! Slides were such great quality and colours back in the day,

[Ivan]

Remember slides well!

[GPix]

I used to shoot lots of slides too. Many memories in them. Have been thinking of scanning the best of my two full suitcases of slides. Lots of memories of the kids and family and places we traveled to etc. Big job ahead for us both!!

[❀ Lynn]

That will definitely take some organizing....you can scan them and put them to digital very easily!

[Vicki Dixon]

my parents have a ton of slides...this is a cool shot

[Sandi]

Love this! Evokes such nostalgic feelings. It sounds as if you had a fun family get-together! :)

[bkb in the city]

@georgews Yes that is for sure

[bkb in the city]

@lynnb Easy but time consuming

[bkb in the city]

@vickisfotos Melody had a great eye to spot this

[bkb in the city]

@gratefulness Yes Sandi we certainly did

[Ginger Sanders]

All us poor tortured kids that had to sit though hours and hours of slide shows from relatives vacations :)

[Danny Davies]

Those were the days bkb, film cameras, you should scan them, might be easier to organize. again full of memories.

[bkb in the city]

@gingersanders Some memories are good and others not so much I guess

[bkb in the city]

@dannydavies Trying to find a way to scan them

[Ann H. LeFevre]

There were lots of slides among my father's things too. I would love to scan them all into a digital format. But like you, it is a project for another time! Good shot Melody!

[bkb in the city]

She did have a great eye for this one
