This is Oliver Homan's second BlueSky account for all things non-current. I plan to post content that I have digitized and some other things like travel photos or film photography that I have scanned in. www.archive1394.weebly.com (being built now)

I created a second BlueSky account, Archive1394, to share some older content I have.

There is lots of analog media that I digitized over the years that would be interesting to share. Old videos, film photography, and travel photos are a few things that I have :)

I just posted a few more articles and resources that I found and have used on my scanning project if you are interested in an update :)

I am making progress on the processing side of my High School film photography digitization project.

Here are three website links that have been very helpful.

Steven and Emma on a class trip to Denver, Colorado for a high school photography class field trip in 2010. A busy street with cars is in the background of two young people looking at the camera. The young man, Steven has a Nikon DSLR with Nikon branded camera strap around his neck. Emma, the young woman has a sling bag over her shoulder.

35mm film negative has been photographed with a mirrorless camera. Photo negative has been processed separately to allow frame numbers on film negative to show in Affinity Photo.

Scanning in film photography with a mirrorless camera is something that I am working on.

To aid that process I am taking cellphone pictures of my contact sheets as mini panoramas and stitching them together in Bimostich Pro on my Android phone. It is a way to keep organized.

Here is a photo of what I called the "Homan Data Liberation Front" a number of years ago as a play on the Google Data Liberation Front.

Years worth of family and personal photos and videos needed to be "liberated" and organized. From 500gb or 5tb drives or DVD back ups it got much more organized.

2008 Apple imac and old Apple Mac Book Pro on makeshift desk with a large collection of home DVDs and hard drives of various vintages.

I called this project the "Homan Data Liberation Front" as I was liberating and freeing years worth of family and personal data that needed to be organized.

Four color photos I found on a film strip.

Processed through Affinity Photo and digitized with my Canon R8 mirrorless camera and Sigma 90mm macro lens set up on an LED light table.

These are views of my dad's childhood home and are not my own photos except for the digitization process.

Old radio equipment and digital mechanical clock. Trophies and miscellaneous stuff on a bookshelf in a bedroom.

Outside of a house, probably mid 50s. The colors here are the best I could do with some very old and damaged film.

This is a box of 1920s film photography equipment from my relative on Colorado's #Easternplains who took a #Kodak Correspondence course sending in typewritten letters and negatives for feedback and instruction in the early days of photography.

Tonight I got a method down to quickly get film scanned without taking it out of the existing contact sheet protectors. Getting the bracketed RAW files processed into a digital negative was easier than expected. Processing is still something that will take a lot of work.
