>>3390532I definitely will but again, no scanner, and I’ll have to probably do manual dusting because Digital ICE doesn’t work with Kodachrome and these are dusty as fuck.
These will definitely be posted here and on Instagram. May even start collecting more old slides from estates, put them together into books or something, archive the rest online. I got them specifically so a collector wouldn’t, so I’ll make sure one way or another they end up in the public domain. They need cleaning (which scares me, kodachrome is brittle) and editing (many underexposed and missed focus shots) and some could use artistic cropping used sparingly.
Not all are from Japan, many others from the big box are from Europe (mostly postwar Germany) and Greece and Egypt. The Greek and Egyptian ones are actually almost as interesting as the ones from Hiroshima.
One pictured is from a box labeled “Nagasaki” and the date stamp on the box is gone but I assume 1953ish
