before the popularization of digital photography that nearly kill off analog photography, we captured our memories on film and developed them in prints. these days, i hardly print any photos. everything i captured are either on my computer or external storages. so it will be cool to convert those old time prints into digital copies before they turned into dust. scanning is not new but scanning the prints piece by piece is a mammoth task and could take ages especially for a person who has decades of memories in prints.
