Handed down to me, I’d like to share many of the photos in the album. This is from my grandfather’s life in the US Navy in the 1930s.

Since all the photos are in black and white, I set my scanner for B/W at 600 dpi. It made nice black & white images of the 80 year old photos, but I did not like the outcome. I went back and scanned them in color, preserving the warmth and feel that an 80 year old photo gives. Some I cropped to bring the subject to the front, most are just run through the scanner using it’s multiple picture function. If anyone that comes across this recognizes anyone in the set and wants a more careful scan, let me know and I’d be happy to send one.
