And it’s about time! In the years that I was using the Canon Elan IIe, I took thousands of shots on professional grade color slide film. In the beginning, I paid a local printing company to scan them on their high-end flatbed scanner. It really did a nice job, although it was too costly to […]
Click Here to Watch The Video: “Looks Like The Rumors Were True, Google Takes On Facebook” You might say Google is an oxymoron. Always looking minimal and clean on the surface, Google is mind-bogglingly complex underneath. Google + promises to be a clean, uncluttered space, but with many layers of sophisticated complexity.
