How I wish I still had all my slides. For a good 20 years I only used transparancy film. Often I would process my own using Ferrania, bought in bulk and reloaded into cassettes. All the storage boxes with my slides were destroyed in an accident. That's a good part of my lifes memory reminders. Sad, when I think about it.
That's one reason I'm taking time and care to digitize all the prints I still have.

It does take quite some time to get good results but it's worth the effort and I get tremendous enjoyment from recalling the memories.
