Family Album
My father painstakingly sifted through old 8mm cine films from my great grandmothers collection shot mainly in the 1960s. He isolated the good frames and chopped them out and reshot them using a really old frame viewer. It took him 4 months to save the family films, and has recently posted CDs containing the images to the family all over the world. Most of them are of our sheep farm which was taken by the National Government back in 1980...but thats a whole other story all together. Here are some of my favourites.

Every person in your family should be thrilled that he did this! It's priceless.
