I was going through our old photo albums today, scanning them and then took them into Photoshop to to see if I could bring them back to somewhat decent so that I can save them onto a DVD.

That got me in a dangerous mode

: I was thinking which means "working without any tools"

. That brings me to the thought of this thread.

I know you all have them, so let's see a few of old photos of yourself. I'll start off:

and some ribbons I won with my old Minolta XD-5 35 mm film camera:

I double dog dare you to post them!

Believe it or not, we were on a float trip down the river and we fed ourselves by killing rabbits or what ever else we could shoot or catch on a rod and reel. Life was Great back then and much less complicated.

724wd, a couple minutes in Photoshop can really clean up old photos. Check these out. Not perfect, but that's just a couple minutes of work.

Here is another old photo that I had to work on last night. I had to really crop the heck out of it and clean up so spots on the horse. The paper is completely deteriorating from age and I think it somehow got wet or damp through the years:

I hope no one is offended but I enjoy working on old photos. It's kind of fun to create and recreate what something really may have looked like.

Here are a couple of my family and I on a hike in fishing trip to a place we call the Mill Pond.

Great pictures. Love seeing those old ones.

grandpawrichard · « **Reply #29 on:** January 09, 2011, 07:25:35 AM »

Awesome photos everyone!

It's pretty neat to see all the old photos and to share in some of the memories that are contained in them.

It's a shame to to think that these great memories are put into old photo albums and stuck away in a closet forgotten for years!

Cool thread, now if I can only figure out how to get some on here. Grew up with a family of 12 and could put up some interesting pictures.

Sadly it has been gone for about 40 years now!

The engine and running gear were not factory when I got rid of the car. I stuck the running gear out of a wrecked Corvette in it.

Complete 427 V8, Tranny, and rear end, plus lead in the frame to keep it on the road.

When I got married we had to get rid of the car because we couldn't afford the gas and insurance on it.

I had a lead foot and racked up way to many tickets with it.

The gal that bought it had it 4 days before she got in a bad wreck and totaled it.

seth30 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:16:37 AM »

Thanks! I do miss it down there as well, and try to go back once a year. Some of the nicest people I have ever met are from southern Idaho.

seth30 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 16, 2011, 06:02:40 PM »

Here are a few more from Idaho when I was young. The horse behind my sister in that pic was pure evil. She used to run the cows away from there calves and try to adopt them.
