Crummy Slide Show

What a coincidence.
One of the items on my to-do-list is digitizing my collection of BD photos. (BD = Before Digital) I dug the boxes out from under the basement stairs a few weeks ago, and they have been sitting next to my desk ever since. There's a lot of photos, I'm not sure how many, three big boxes weighing 150 pounds total. It's going to be a big project - maybe that's why I had trouble getting started - where/how to begin?

When I got Judy's letter, I decided this was a perfect time to figure out a work flow for digitizing those old photos. I scaned about 25 prints, but I'm not at all happy with the results thus far.

You can see the slide show on the right side of the blog.
I will have to come up with something better, but for now it's a start. Right now I'm just using my all-in-one-printer-scanner-fax thing, and I'm looking for a better way - suggestions? There is a great opportunity for improvement somewhere in this process.
