High-res
I’ve been scanning all of my dads old photographs these past couple of months. Its part of his Christmas present since this will take me the entire year to complete. He doesn’t want to keep the original pictures (he wants me to have them), but wants digital copies to store on an external drive and have them at his disposal when he’s feeling nostalgic. Basically he doesn’t want to look like a pansy breaking out a floral photo book, instead he’ll bust out his shiny new macbook and be a bad ass.
I just like how I had the same exact upbringing and childhood/teenage years as my father. He spent it living, and graduating from Okinawa since my grandparents were in the Army. He was also a military brat. Where he has pictures taken in Japan, he’s recorded videos of me making funny faces, dancing around with my pigtails and rompers in the same spots. We had the same life, but just in two different eras. If I have a kid, i’m hoping to do the same. Japan has been so great to my family, I want to continue having our family roots stay there.
