Holy shit. You crazy motherfucker. You actually put the photos on the frame one by one? And scanned them one by one?

I gotta say...

You may be insane, but you get the job done, as opposed to me, who am still trying to figure out the best way to do it.

That's why we are still trying to understand how they built the pyramids, while the pyramid builders simply did it.

Yeah. I don't remember how many of the pictures I scanned were prints, but it was quite a few, maybe close to 1,000. As I said, just watched TV and did it. It's pretty mindless once you get into the groove doing it.

Like I said before, I did try to find the negatives and scan those instead when possible. Better quality and more efficient. But for quite a few, no negatives. I also had to take pictures out of frames and stuff like that. My parents wedding picture was in a cardboard frame I had to disassemble carefully...
