When winter arrives it is less appealing to be outside taking photographs and more productive to be inside post processing or scanning old photos. Today I scanned a collection of old negatives that captured some very rare images.  While I was in my twenties, I co-founded a company called Truevision.  Running it consumed my entire life and there are very few pictures of my from that era. Below is one of the products we designed and manufactured, a component in our Horizon series of videographic processors.

Pictured below (on the right) is my mother.  This photo was taken in 1953 at Lago Pichincha, north of Quito, Ecuador where she spent her summers away from the oppressive heat and humidity of her home in Guayaquil.  This image was from a collection of 30 slides we discovered while I was visiting her last weekend in Schenectady.
