[Leica] Christmas 2015

[Ken Carney]

Ted, thanks

I will pass that on, and I'm sure she will get a kick out of it. She has 
seen some pretty amazing things, has a good eye for photography and has 
hundreds of 35mm and 120 b&w negatives beginning around 1940 
(Voigtlander cameras). For her 100th I edited and scanned them, put them 
on an iPad for her and made a website for relatives scattered 
everywhere.  She thinks it's pretty cool and drags the iPad out when 
friends visit.  She also has a large number of Kodachrome slides from 
that era.  The b&w negs were fine, but I had to do some restoration with 
the chromes.  Maybe now to buy a gallon of ink and print them...
