Another cunning plan, perchance?

(partially x-posted to Another cunning plan, perchance? at ~the-boggyb on deviantArt)

This is not my cunning plan for NaBloPoMo - as it happens, I've yet to deploy my cunning plan (despite it potentially being so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel...). But while searching through a crate of stuff the other day I came up with another plan entirely. I realised that although I take an awful lot of photos, very few of them make it beyond a folder on my computer.

Or, in this case, a box full of negatives and prints. See, every once in a while I try my hand at old-school photography with The Gnu's Nikon F-301 and a fistful of 35mm film.

So my new plan is to every so often pick a set of prints, scan the negatives ([livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove regularly mocks the fact that I have a SCSI card of all things in this computer, so I ought to at least make use of the film scanner it's attached to - a Nikon Coolscan III), and post the best photos here.

How long will this last? Who knows. You never know, I may keep up with this plan long enough to run out of 35mm negatives and dig out the disc films from the distant past...
