So young
I have been knee-deep in photos recently, putting together an iPhoto book of old family photos for my Dad's 80th birthday. Today, I came across this photo from 1982 - the year before Drake and I were married. (Most of our pre-digital camera photos are in slides - this is a print someone must have given us.) It's amazing to think what a leap of faith getting married was at that point in our lives.
Funny too - I had almost forgotten that Drake's beard had quite a bit of red in it (his father is a redhead) - he has a goatee now which has been almost completely gray for some time.

Nothing against the photo! It's a really good portrait, but if you're doing a lot of scanning now, it's something to think about. I've gone through a huge stack of old slides and photos and am still learning things about PhotoShop.
I start my scanning today - so far I've just been organizing and gathering the photos up. So your advice was just in time!
Lastly, of course, you definitely want to save all this effort you've put in, and for that I've gotten myself a pro account at Flickr. Once you're done, upload 'em. Then you never have to worry about losing your hard drive.
The photos I think really look good with the correction work - my Dad is going to be so surprised!
