We had a blast today at Sophie's (Rylie's friend's) birthday party. I really wanted to get some motion blur and intentionally didn't use my speedlite. This is the best I got since right after this was taken, all of the children were removed from the pool due to floating poopies. ;) Kids will be kids! I know this isn't the best image I've ever taken, but I really like the action and motion in it and the fact that it features the birthday girl having fun. I took my underwater too, but this was the first time shooting in an indoor pool with it and there just wasn't enough light. The flash on the olympus eats the batteries and it takes so much longer for the camera to write the images after they're taken. So, I usually leave the flash off. Too bad I really needed it to get any good underwater shots. Oh, well. I got the birthday girl going down the slide with her daddy waiting and watching. I know the focus isn't perfect on her, but I'm glad there's enough to really emphasize her and her dad. Thanks for having us out, Sophie!! 1/10sec@f/4 ISO100 FL:24mm

Found 126-format Kodachrome slide dated September 1969, again with an odd yellow cast.
EDIT: I re-scanned it and the colour is better, however there is a slight reflection of the iPhone lens.
This slide is labelled "Mt McKinley National Park". I have no further information.
The EXIF data says it was taken with a D200, but that's just what I used to copy the slide. It was taken with an Exakta VX.
We drove into the park in a Plymouth Valiant and all I remember is that the road was under construction and it was pure mud. No paving. It was overcast so we didn't see much.
Slide (YASM-1) produced by the Province of Ontario Picture Bureau, probably in the 1920s, for use in Ontario schools.
Donated to the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County by Mike and Sue Mills in October 2015.
Bought this slide rule when I was attending University towards an Engineering degree in the late 1960's. By the time I graduated in 1971, these instruments were virtually obsolete having been replaced mainly by electronic calculators. I've never used this or any other slide rule in my subsequent working career.
Some of these look like they were taken yesterday.
This is my mom and her little brother, ca. 1962.
...I think I had some of these slides backwards, whoops!
Found Kodachrome slide, date not legible, showing people sat on deckchairs on a sand-and-shingle beach.
Found Kodachrome slide dated January 1963m, manually labelled with one word that looks like "Linerbaugh's".

The tradition of me buying a new tool for every DIY project continues.
This is a sliding bevel. It is very useful in copying angles without measuring it. Measuring anything in order to copy is a common source of error (when transcribing measurements lazy humans like me tend to round it off, measure incorrectly, etc)
A nice slide rule I got at a tag sale. It still had a tag and receipt from the Yale book store from the 60's. I have since sent it to a friend in Sweden who collects such things
