What a shame.

You gotta admit, that's pretty clever - and unusual.
On a dull day one can just stand and stare out the window -
with the curtains down!!

How many months will it last in the sun?

I find something about that quite sad. Then, I am the only person I know who still looks at my slides and still occasionally shoots them - so I am sure to be in a minority.

"I'm pretty sure the slides will fade in time, but I always have more slides."

Yikes. This guy is an archaeologist's worst nightmare.

Kodachromes are almost indestructible - but with direct sun is hard that they won't fade.

I hope that there are just crab, stupid photos in that curtain. Sad to think about a really good photograph be destroyed this way.

I have a ton of old slides, so as they fade, I can just replace them with others.

:eeek:

This Christmas I had the great pleasure of watching about 3 hours of 1950s slides converted to DVDs. Many had Rome and Galveston including parade in the earlier days.
Seeing the scenery and dress and being an antiques dealer there is not a fiber of my being that can understand this. If this person does not want these slides they may have some historical significance to someone somewhere.
They are his I know but....

Slides are une of the most spetacular ways to see photos. My parents asked to convert their collection in DVDs, but I prefer with the projector (so I got all the collection! Around 6 thousand slides, from 40s to 80s).

There is something special about projecting images in a large screen, all family and friends in a darkened room, to see photos.

It's a lot more difficult to take the photos, you don't have the chance to make a mistake. In exposure or about the final picture. But the results are marvelous.

I'm getting again in the procedings about BW slides. A long and somewhat difficult developing routine, with its 10 steps! But the results are quite different. There is too much color in world...

A few years ago before my grandfather passed we got out his slide collection and not only got to view them, but got to hear the what/where/who/when of each. That is a priceless memory. We did convert them so that we could each have a copy, and typed a transcript to accompany it. My parents have the original slides yet.
