[Leica] Nathan's PAD 14/1/2021: a blast from a very distant past, or "when I had hair"

[Douglas Barry]

Definitely a keeper, Nathan. Make sure you write the details on the back 
of the original, as I have to scratch my head in bewilderment looking at 
some of the old family shots.

You pop in a stack of photos (up to 30, I think), press a button, and let it rip. My wife has long wanted to digitize the many old photos we have, and she loves the scanner—for once, a piece of equipment that actually works as advertised. Among the old photos she came across this gem from 1978, before we had even met. It was my senior year of high school in Denmark, and I was taking Russian as my third foreign language (English and German were mandatory, but you could choose Russian, French or Spanish as the third one). It was customary to make a weeklong trip to the country whose language you were studying, so we went for a week to Moscow and Leningrad (today St. Petersburg). I have no idea who took this photo on the plane from Copenhagen to Moscow, and it is technically horrible, but it is still a nice reminder of the time when I was young and the world looked like an open road:
