About the Image(s)
This image is only a "how far have we come?" image. This was taken with a 35mm point and shoot camera back in 1993 by my son on a back backing trip to Half Moon Lake in Wyoming where I grew up. I took the film to Costco and had it developed and had a floppy disk made with the images. I had all 36 images on one 1.2m floppy. The images were 4 bit (16 colors) ".bmp" images probably 33K bites each. You can see the dithered 4 bit pixels in the sky. I converted the 2D original image to 3D with Microsoft’s "Paint" software. I had a 386 PC running windows 311 that ran at an amazing 16Mhz and had a 10Mb hard drive. Now, I couldn’t even get 1 picture on that 10Mb Hard drive now. HOW FAR HAVE WE COME AND WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE IN ANOTHER 26 YEARS?

Old images are not easy to work with. I give you credit for giving it a try.   Posted: 11/21/2019 11:54:25
