A Note Regarding My Older Photos

I have finally purchased a new scanner and I have almost completed my computer hardware upgrades. This has taken much longer than I had planned, and I am sorry for the delay. I still intend to start scanning some of my older photos before the racing season starts. I have somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 photos that I took starting in the mid 1970s at various speedways in Ontario, New York, Michigan, etc... Almost all of the photos that you've seen so far on this site are recent digital shots. I didn't want to start the rather slow task of scanning the old ones until I had a scanner that could capture the detail that will produce a high quality print. For the technical minded, a majority of my older shots are on Kodachrome 64, which if scanned at a high resolution, produces a very vivid print.

thanks - Derek
