So ya, I have been teaching myself web design lately and part of my big long term plan is to get most of my chromes scanned and online and available for purchase. I've had my Nikon Coolscan for quite awhile now and it does a really good job, but in the last little while, well, the results have been bumming me out.

I started pricing out new scanners, thinking that the old girl was on her last legs, but then, in a fit of brilliance decided to do a little research to see if we could breathe some new life into my old faithful.

I came across this page;

and decided it was time to turn the dining room table into an operating theater. I have a long history of tearing apart shit and then not being able to put it back together, so I went into this process with an "if it dies, it dies" attitude.

So i get into the guts of the old bitch, and there is a nice thick layer of dust on my mirror. In no time flat i have turned a sensor swab into a mirror swab and somehow managed to get the box back together without so much as a lost screw.

So now it's making fantastic scans again and all my old binders of slides are like brand new treasure chests. I'll put up some new scans in with the "current work" page.
