The 60's |

My earliest memories are from when I was about 2 years old ( in 1963 ) and my family was down Atlantic City. I remember when it was time to leave and I had to chose the last ride I went on. And there were plenty of pictures and even some old home movies of the same trip. The earliest memories I have that are not captured on film are of pretending to have a big brother. I was 4 and he was the biggest a kid could be at 8 :) My parents had a bunch of those old 8 mm movies converted to video about 10 years ago. The last week of 2001 I took that tape and started making VCD's from it. Now here it is the beginning of 2002 and I'm watching my first Christmas on my computer. No sound and very shaky. But I remember when we had to break out the projector and the big screen and the clickity click be careful it doesn't jam and melt the movie. Watching my father splice film together. I even have my first film that I shot myself. It seemed like magic to make a movie with that little wind up camera. I'm glad we were able to preserve things like this from the 60's besides the thousands of pictures my parents took. Now, with my digital camera and webcam and video capture card it all seems so simple to take little pieces of the past and preserve them. In the 6 months I have had my digital cam I think we have taken 2000 pics. Makes me wonder what my kids will be doing with them in 40 years...
