My Slides from the 90's

Wonderful photos, superb memories! Thanks for posting this thread and all these delightful photos, Pan! You were gifted with a great eye, I love seeing what you saw.

I similarly have several albums and boxes of slides from long, long ago, probably early 1970s until early 1990s, hiding out in my bookshelves and closets. Perhaps I should go excavating for them. :D

Thank you Godfrey, I hope this thread and a couple more that are running (from Lynnb's road trip and x-rays portrait of Appalachia) will get people searching in shoe boxes and attics this winter :giggle:

I dug out the old projector I bought for pennies 12 years ago in a car boot sale. I didn't even remember that it was a Zeiss 😮

It has generated some interest in the house. The kids had no idea what this outdated piece of machinery is doing. They thouroghly enjoyed the slideshow though - even though some slides were shown upside down :LOL:

Wonderful. A slide night. Yes to that. Mine is in a cupboard here. Along with the Super 8 movie projector. The slide projector is a Rollei. Not used for twenty years at least. Same with the movie projector. When I showed a movie of our daughter escaping from us along the beach, a whole roll of Kodachrome in one take, my son aged three, born after that movie was made, pulled his thumb from his mouth and urgently requested the impossible: “Put me in the movie Richard! Put me in the movie!”

So true Richard, I'd love to be in a kodachrome movie - who wouldn't!

I scanned a couple of these slides and sent them to a friend who is in them. He was so pleasantly surprised that these pictures still exist. He said something very clever: "Pan, when our kids hit 50 and get an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, all they will be getting is 404 page errors".

It made me chuckle but I also see some true in it.
 
I have some slides from Maroc (Fujifilm Astia) and some rolls of Kodak Tri-X for B/W...

I made a public "performance" in my town with these slides + music to share our experience in Maroc... I remember I made copies from B/W pictures to Astia slides to keep them in the performance... it was a beautiful experience.

I used a Kiev19M + Nikkor 28-85mm.

Maybe it has come the time to digitalize these slides.

Thanks to you Pan and @lynnb for inspiring with your slides projects...

I try to get my younger colleagues to take seriously my proposal that they keep or get a film camera and take two or three rolls of slides of their kids each year for something more permanent. Or at least print a few special pictures and have them in an album of acid free paper. SCSI and FireWire are gone and CD readers soon too.
 
There is good reason to have good prints and not just electronic copy of our photographs. Prints degrade from a myriad of reasons, but they do hang around, even degraded, and don't take complex machinery to view. Film images are less stable, but slides stored properly can last a long time too.

It's why I've never completely stopped shooting some film and making prints of both film and digital captures. This light permanence is an essential part of photography, for me.

Kudos to you, made. We are doing really well here. Blasts from the past, from a few posters.

Maybe a new threat should be started. And we will all be encouraged to post and share our visual memories.

I've been photographing my travels since I took my Rolleiflex 3.5E2 with me to France in 1966. Most of my color negatives are now past history, but some may be salvageable as black-and-white images, altho' the thought of all the scanning and post processing work I will have to do, at my tender age, is off-putting. But needs must.

I (and I'm sure many other) are following all these Deja Vu threads with great interest. To be encouraged.

A big THANK YOU to all of you who are putting in the time and effort to share your past travels with us.

Thank you for your kind words - i am open to any ideas, there are some indepedent threads running with people's slides. If people think we should merge the threads, i'm more than happy to contribute.

I meant to say "mate" (in the best Aussie complimentary way) and not "made".

Also "thread" (and certainly "treat"), not "threat". In no way a threat to anyone or anything!

MacBook Spellcheck (or my weary brain) did me in..
