For those long dark nights...

On my way back down from Oban I met up with a friend and collected four boxes of colour slides, around 9-10,000 in total. These are of buses from around Scotland and were taken between 1960 - 1988 and represent about 5% of his total collection. JS has been taking pics for nearly 60 years but as the neg/slide/print age is virtually over he now needs to get these digitised and I'm giving him a hand. It's a labour of love.

He was taking slides on Agfa and Kodakchrome long before most people and some of these colour views are rare and beautiful. John has an eye for a scenic shot, indeed I learned from him that a good bus photo is one which shows it in its operating environment, warts and all. As historical records of Scottish towns, villages and High streets, and the glorious Highlands and Islands the JS Collection is one of the best.

I can't wait to get started on the scanning!
