Just purchased a scanner to convert some 40+ year old slides. Works very nice. Here is one from December 31, 1963. Snowed 4.5 inches in New Orleans. This shot is my sisters in front of our house in the lower 9th ward. Pretty much destroyed in Katrina but I think the house is still there.

If you look all the way "in the back" of the pic you'll see what looks like a snow covered hill. That is the Mississippi River Levee.

I'll post some more later...I'll be in those as a 2 year old.

All nice shots! I'm not sure of the Camera. I'm sure it was nothing expensive. My dad was a cop in New Orleans with 7 kids ! I'm glad he had a cam though! He used mostly Kodachrome and kept slides.

My family had these slides forever and used to look at them every 5 years or so. I had about 100 of them when Katrina hit. These are the only ones left!

I'll post more later.

funny your posting this thread, as i just recently started taking photos on good ol' film myself. i built a homemade repro desk to photograph the slides/negatives so i have them on my hd (looking for the canon 8800 scanner to do the job soon).
they're not old but at least they look old ;)

Here is a Louisiana classic. This is me holding on to a fish while I'm eating a Moon Pie ! All that's missing is the RC Cola !

You can see all of them by going here.

Great Louisiana shots, Ken. I lived part of my life there. Ever hear of a place called Crown Point?

This is from a slide I took in London in 1984, and made a Cibachrome print a while later. I scanned it in 2007. I have no idea in what condition the original slide is...

wow, it's really strange for me to look at color photographs dating back to the 60's and 70's. all the pics in our families photo album's are b&w until the late 80's or so. then again that was the time of socialism here in eastern germany, so i think you could only really get color film if you were a pro (and even then i'm not sure) or you had some friends or family in west germany who could illegaly send you that stuff...

Nice scan...I wonder what the original looked like through the projector...

I've never thought of that...I guess you just take for granted some of life's "givens" ! I thought everyone had access to Kodachrome !

My dad was a policeman with 7 kids and somehow managed to optain a roll of kodachrome now and then !

Here are some scans taken by a pilot in WWII. He was my brother in law's grandfather.

Nice ! Number 13 looks like Jimmy Stewart lighting Humphry Bogart's stogie.

This would have been taken in 1957 or 58 at the old ranch in Wyoming.
