So it begins...

I'm back in Venice. I came here for two reasons, one being more obvious than the other.

First, I wanted to celebrate Christmas with family.

Second I wanted to scan old photographs. Lots of old photographs, some dating back as far as the late 1800s.

So on the way down I picked up a scanner and today I'm getting to work.

Above is the first of many. I believe it was actually taken by a professional. There is a business label on the back that reads Paul's Photos and gives a short description of the photo. Check it out on my flickr for more info.

Well here I go, wish me luck...
