I had mentioned it en passant about ten days earlier, a clever device I had spotted in the electronics section of my favourite local department store, Karstadt. Branded Rollei (but surely not made in Germany?) it was a small scanner for 35mm negatives and framed slides.
In the here and now I am also hopeful... that after a month back in Munich there will soon be an end to sub-zero overnight temperatures which means that whenever I leave the flat there are watering eyes and a running nose to contend with. The weather forecast hints that frosty days may soon be a thing of the past.
Bravely hopeful I remain!
And it was this mention that spurred my ex and my daughter to make this my birthday gift, for which I am hugely grateful. Thanks, girls!
In consequence there now starts a massive digitilaization project of the photos I shot with my Minolta SRT101 in the seventies and eighties.
Do I not look bravely hopeful on that street in New York in 1978?
