Samples from the first 24 Scans

Okay... I am excited about this project, possibly overly excited, but what can I say. I have been waiting for years for this opportunity. So I thought that I was would share a sample of the first 24 scans. 24 scans that came from 1 of 6 tubs of these glass plates, and this tub isn't even the fullest of the tubs. I plan on scanning and converting one tub of these plates a weekend.

So here are the samples from the first pass...

A weekend at the beach

It amazes me how much beauty there is at the coast, even when you leave the beach. I am planning an outing for my photography club to this particular location.

Have you ever been camping in a yurt? I have; many times. It is always a great experience. If you haven't or even think I am making the word Yurt up, you should check it out.

A yurt is like a cross between a cabin and a tent. They have heat, power, and some even have cable hookup for those of you that understand what camping it about. The yurts can each sleep five people and a select few in Oregon are pet friendly.

Leaving the yurt, you are just minutes, walking, from so much natural beauty.

And you are only ten minutes from Newport's Historic Waterfront.

Check out SouthBeach State Park, at $40 a night, it makes a weekend at the coast affordable and just as enjoyable as the $120 a night motels.
