THE GALLERY of favorite abandoned places pics... post your cool / wierd pics here...

I love old places like these.

They have a certain "feel" to them...
Like time stood still...
Caught in that time.

How much was the converter and where did you purchase it??

heh ... nope just pics in general...

All my pics from old days are on film and slides...

I have a converter that I paid a lot for to make the slides digital...
Just haven't sat and done it...

Its already on the long "to do" list...
I started it... but ended up doing relatives stuff first and put mine on backburner awhile now...
I did do a few of mine...
Hmmm but where... no clue...
maybe a "search" is in order.

Well if I remember correctly... this was WELL over a year ago ... sheesh maybe even 2 now... (damn time flies)...
It was close to like 150ish I think... which I felt was a lot... for just converting...
were 2 left and one had been rifled through and opened...
that was at Best Buy...

I am staring at it on my desk bookshelf as we speak...

ion film 2 sd.

Will add this though...
The ones I did run through it... came out great.
I need to dust it off and use it again.

Sheesh just finish converting mine would be nice...
I put a large shoebox of slides on a cd with room to spare.

Talk about "downsizing"... and sheesh so much easier to view when ya want.

I had 2 slide projectors and a screen at one time... crap all over... slides here and there.

Sold projectors and screen at yard sale for a whopping 20 or 25 dollars.

Along with a crapload of slides of travels by my grandfather... who was Air Force 37 years.

That is not a bad price, if you have a lot of slides to do. I have old Super 8MM movies that need to be converted, but it costs a pretty penny to have it done!!

Great pics!!....and thanks for the info

I hope this isn't off topic...but my wife and me have probably thousands of pictures of 45 years of family and misc. adventures!! I've been moving a lot of them to thumb drives. Plug 'em into the T.V. and look at all the "old" pictures!! It makes it very nice!!

Yep. I have a box of old 8mm silent movies of my dad racing in the 50s & early 60s that I want to get put on CDs one of these days. Just no clue as to who can do it without costing a small fortune

not sure how many feet of 8mm you have on one reel, but walmart seems reasonable
under pricing tab
MSRP $19.96 for the first 125 feet, $.16 per foot per additional foot

Out west we don't have the same kind of ghost towns as those in the jungle.

New Orleans abandonded Jazzland

New Orleans had a Six Flags theme park for a short period before Hurricane Katrina flooded it and sealed it's fate. These aren't my personal pictures, but I did visit the site a few years ago. I wouldn't go back today though...too many crack-heads and gangs roam the property now. Especially if they see vehicles in the empty parking lot.
