Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anybody give me very clear step-by-step instructions as to how to get old photos onto snowheads? You are going to have to assume a low level on computer geekery...I'm a user not an abuser!
I was up in the loft last night, the first evening in what will be a long process of trying to de-hoard ourselves.
I found two old albums:
1947:
My mother skiing in Cortina in the British Army Championships
1914
My Grandmother and family skiing at Mount Kosciusko (Australia). Great snow! Roads for horses cut into the snow which was up to their backs. Huge long skis with enormous tips, single long poles. Men in plus fours and women in long skirts. I've read that the first recreational ski club was founded there and my family were among the founder members.
The fascinating thing is that there were some photos that we have all taken...lying in the snow on your back with ski tails dug into the snow, tips in tha air. Same pose in 1914, 1947 and probably 2007!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do you have access to a scanner? You will need one of these to scan the photograph into your computer, which is the first step in the process. Once you have done this (save the photo as a 'jpeg' file) create an account on snowHeads media server and follow the on-screen instructions for uploading photos - it's very straightforward.

I'll have to ask my Aunt as she is the only person who can identify some of the faces from 1914.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I look forward to seeing them.
Perhaps we should have an area for early photos - I have these from my father in the early and mid 1930s (that most people have seen already) on one of my snowMedia files.

snowball, excellent photos, hadn't seen them before. You could do a good line in nostalgic PCs. Look forward to rungsp's.

rungsp, this may interest you too. An old Verbier photo. Sadly our chalet is being obscured by the chalet in the foreground on the left...

rungsp, any luck with finding someone or somewhere with a scanner (I assume you don't have one or your photos would be on here by now).
