While working I never had time to organize my personal collection of photos, which includes prints, B&W negatives in formats from Minox to 4x5, 35mm and 6x7 color transparencies, and (mainly architectural) 35mm Stereo Realist slides. Now I can. Plus, I'm caretaker to my father's collection of family negatives and prints from 1941 to the sixties, his documentation of service in WWII and of optometry school in the fifties. It's keeping me busy.
