1958 Chevrolet Impala. When this came out I was 7 years old and I thought it was an extremely ugly design after the 57'. However, the look has grown on me over the years.
I have always thought the :57 Chevy was a good looking car. A great basis for customizers too. Then one day I got a chance to sit in one. Humm.... Obviously a different group of designers did the interior. The '58 is a great car. They must have fired the interior designers of the '57. Just me n my 2¢.

Photo-journalism and some monkey-business to boot! GREAT way to begin a new week at the UHH. Gives a whole new meaning to "monkey see, monkey do!" This chimp could be the site's new mascot, seems to fit right in.
Let's see....

Correct. All in one printer, scanner, fax machines will not do as good a job as a decent flatbed scanner that has a "professional mode". I found a 1-1/2" x 3/4" tin type photo of my great, great, great grandmother. I made several attempts to scan it using my combo printer. The results we're terrible black blobs. I called a fellow club member for help. He invited me to his home. His arsenal includes an Epson flatbed scanner with several modes. Watching it work and seeing the image it produced made me see the light. I came home, ordered an Epson V600, and started over.
Removing the white border from the scan makes a BIG difference. Cropping out a bright window or light from a photo makes a big difference. Letting the scanner correct the faded color is usually amazing. Zooming in on a face by cropping can give one a real "WOW" moment. It also has a small slider capability and a curve adjustment capability. It will save in three jpeg values and two tiff values. Plus scan from something like100 to 3600+ dpi. So yes, that $225 price, to me, has been worth every penny.
And considering my goal of adding photos of my family members to Family Search, this flatbed scanner lets me crop and customize faces from group photos.
Just letting you know. It's like the difference between a Brownie and my Canon RP.
Course I do not know what combo scanner you have or it's capabilities. Just telling you what I know from the combo printers and scanner I have. And there are scanners that cost over $1000. I assume they will do more than what mine will. But then I'm a Chevrolet Impala kind of guy, not a Cadillac guy.

I hope you didn't put these two in the "insanity" category. Impressive reading of the light, both of them.

I always said when training that the only dumb questions are the ones that make you dumb because you didn't ask them. I could always tell the students who were trying because they asked the questions that half the class was too timid to ask. There's no shame in wanting to know an answer (unless you didn't read your homework reading assignment the night before).
I love technology, but my real joy is figuring out how much I can do with how little I have.

In almost 73 years, 33 years teaching high school, I have never heard a dumb question. I have heard a lot of dumb answers.
I did have one guy tell me that he was glad that I was in taking an adult class, because I asked questions that he had never even thought of,

My Lenovo P1 Gen4 laptop finally came back from service last night. I am glad I had the warranty because they replaced almost everything. They replaced the LCD, The motherboard, The top cover including the keyboard. It looks like new. It also came back with the original Windows 10. I have to upgrade it to Windows 11 and then reinstall all the software. I guess it would take me about a week to complete all that.
Ain't it fun!

How long has this image of the first photo been rumbling around your brain?
It looks like something you've been eyeballing, thinking about, walking around, test shooting, lining up for a long time. Either way, impressive.

Yes, a yellow John Deere. An industrial model. Used mainly for highway maintenance and construction, and any other non-farming endeavor.

Now that we have 32 pages of responses, what have we learned ? Is anyone going to change their procedures because of the survey ? Is anyone at least going to rethink their procedures ? What is the analysis of this ?
Thinking about it.

The southern border of our development contains most of our little lake and, with the mountains as a backdrop, provides a great photo op.
