I've spent a fruitless evening surfing through eBay looking for vintage slides to use in making my SX70 and TtV images. I lost all of my photographic images (10,000+ images) when my computer crashed in late August so I've decided to scan and use my father's old slides to alter in Photoshop. Sounds like a great idea but I've come to realize that I'll need a lot more than Daddy's photography if I plan to keep on working. I always thought he had a camera at his eye but I've not been able to find more than 75-100 slides. *sigh* I love my great ideas but hate it when I can't find a way to carry them out!
So here's an appeal to all my readers. If you have vintage slides you'd like to sell.. I'm interested. If you'd rather do a 'loner' thing I'd be happy to trade with some of my work. Just leave a comment and I'll track you down. Thanks for any vintage images you can dredge up for me. I'm devastated to lose so much of my work. A hard lesson learned, always back up your computer even if you think you've got top of the line virus protection!
Oh no! I'm sorry~ I don't have any vintage slides.... but I sure will keep my eyes open for you!

I have some slides from my childhood, so they must be vintage ( I am so old!) but I don't like to part with themn, but I will have a look for you and see if there is anything I can spare! Suzie. x
ReplyDeleteThat is a real bummer- reminds me of when I lost tons of original lyrics and music in a flood- it can be heartbreaking. But, something will open up. Keep your chin up. :)

Are you Buying Slides? I have a collection of vintage slides from the late 30's early 40's would possibly sell some.
ReplyDeletei have about 500 boxes of 3D 35mm Stereo Slides from just about everywhere in the world. If you'd like to see some samples i have scanned and some box labels to see the vast assortment send me an email at vintageslides@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteEach slide is labeled with the location and date and so is each box
