I’m quite sure many of the photos in my dad’s box of slides are going to show…um…rice. And yep, here’s another. This one is a from a marked slide that has no companions.
My process so far, just in case you’re interested. I’ve taken all the slides and sorted them by type of film label: Kodachrome & Ektachome. Next I used the fonts on the slide labels to sort them into separate groups. Finally I checked for any handwritten or printed notes on the slide holder to sort them yet again.
I’ve started with scanning the slides that are in sets, but small ones. There’ll be some much bigger jobs coming up and most likely I will not be posting them one by one…a big batch will probably be a better deal. After all, gentle reader, a thousand pictures of rice paddies might be interesting to some, but for most, one is pretty much like another.
On the other hand, my experiences of riding past cornfield after cornfield in Iowa on RAGBRAI lead me to…but that’s another story for another time.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
