Well, you learn something new everyday.
. I thought I simply MUST have a $500 digital camera 
to go wild with. Imagine my surprise, then, when I took some old photos from the Irish Studies trip and my first archaeological dig (Rock Springs, Wyoming, Fall of 1988) into Ave Copy in the U-District, and came out with all five photos scanned and saved on an ordinary disk! I never knew one could do that!! Why haven't I done this a long time ago?! [swinging foot backwards toward own posterior]. Oh, well, I'd still better learn to use a scanner and some sort of software to upload my own images soon; I can't afford to do this full-service copy shop thing too often. Barring any uploading catastrophe, here are the first five scanned images for you! Enjoy, LairCronies all!!Note: This page contains Amazon.com affiliate text links; they are added in red-violet links.

Taken on a cold, wet, blustery day in March 1985 in a farmer's field outside Sligo town. These were the worst possible conditions for taking pictures, never mind that local farmers had picked that day to lime their fields. The pictures that came out at all, however, were not too bad. This was the best of the dolmen shots. |
