Bike badness.

Tuesday morning, my husband biked off to work as usual. He commented on his way out the door, “You know, I’ve saved $60 by biking instead of taking the light rail!”

Later that day, he was felled by the irony bandit.

SQUIRREL!

We got some old slides that belonged to my husband’s father scanned yesterday. The fine folks at Biggs Camera here in Charlotte did the work. It was very hard to see what they were on the very old 2″ slides, but turns out they’re from New Year’s Eve 1960 going into 1961. His dad remembers because it was so unusual to get snow, and that’s why he took the pics.

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and having these turn out so nicely and being able to talk with his father about them was a great birthday treat. Kudos to the guys at Biggs for turning this order around in just two days.

For the graphically inclined, tutorial on white balancing using Photoshop. I used this technique to further color correct some of the scans, and I’ll definitely use it again. Very handy!
