During the ' barasa '( बारस ) of Ajeet a we got a click III camera to record the various events .It used to take a film roll of 12 exposures. Being a box camera it had no flash , no focal length or any other type of settings which are generally associated with taking good & beautiful photos . That never discouraged or deterred us from having a ball and using it left right and center.That camera was used very extensively .We decided that we will expose one film roll every month . From the 12 contact prints , select the best exposures and order enlarged copies and put them in albums .This resulted in gradual increase in albums . Even though over a period of time The Click III has been replaced by better cameras we continued with the practice .Today we have 34 of these albums . On an average each album has 108 photos, so we have at least 3400 of them :-) The latest no 34 has photos of our America Trip in 2009 Somehow after that , for one reason or the other , album 35 or more have not come up .
The Click III faithfully recorded the growing up of Ajeet , Anuj and all the happy and important events for the next 11 long years till 1984 when I got a canon colour camera from UK.
Dadoo presented us with a digital camera in November 2007 before our visit to Andaman Nicobar Islands.This was lost at San Francisco. Got another canon while staying with Bhupen . That was lost during our Kashmir trip . Mummy then presented me with an Olympus camera which has not been lost till date. All these were digital cameras so I learned Picassa , web albums etc and there after all photos are in web .
How ever photos taken by click III and other cameras using film rolls , up to 1984 and included and the albums were not degitised and put on the web . I decided to do so . Albums no 24 till no 33 are all on net . Decided to start from Album no 1 . But Dadoo suggested why not the marriage album , which we had numberd as 00.
The album was in a mess . The butter paper had stuck to the photos and could not be removed .Tried to remove the stuck paper wherever I could . The process of these efforts was caught by Mummy.
Here is the sample of results of my efforts . Top photo without restoration , below that after I did whatever I could :-)
This is preview . Hopefully album number 00 will be on the net by the evening or tomorrow. :-)
