Continuation will require scanning of
negatives which are, to say the least, disorganized.
I may not get to this task till next
winter (or the one after that)!
Another project shared with Randy
McKee and Greg Rickes is to scan the archives of our
friend Joe Corbett.
So there’s no shortage of tasks!

Use of these photos in
any publication is free as long as photo credit is given to R. Allen Olmstead
for slides from Al’s collection
and likewise credit to Clark W. Nicholls for slides from his collection.

Here’s the workstation, scanner
lower right:
scans are being done with a HP Scanjet 4890 at 300dpi resolution.
This scanner scans 16 slides in one batch at user selected resolution with
Hewlett Packard software.
I used 300dpi which makes a jpg file 500-700KB each slide. Not the best, but ok
for now.
I think the Epson V500 (below) is a worthy scanner too! Around $230

A poem for a Bad poetry contest, One
Star Please! Not begging, thats
all its worth anyway!
The Mighty Botchagaloop
(Read along in a heavy Austrailian accent)
A mighty gorilla they call Botchagaloop,
Through the African jungles he roams and he hunts
The constipated tribesman who’s fingers jab poop.
His hemorrhoids blooming through his timed rhythm grunts,
While squatting and poking his turd
starts to sprout.
The mighty gorilla was amazed at these stunts!
The lone tribesman screams silent, no words can he shout,
Botchagaloop moves closer, starts licking his chops,
A dark crunchy delight, a bit dry from the drought.
He pinches his sphincter and a blood vessel pops!
The gorilla starts charging he’s ready to eat!
The tribesman starts crying his turd finally drops!
Botchagaloop grasps the tribesman, squeezes his meat,
An explosion of feces his meal now complete!
Written in a Terza Rima Sonnet.
Terza Rima is a chained
form with three-line stanzas (tercets). In each
stanza, the first and third lines rhyme. The second line rhymes with the first
and third lines of the next stanza. It is limited to 14 lines so the pattern
will be as follows:
aba, bcb, cdc, ded, ee
