I've got a couple of shoeboxes full of negatives upstairs, some dating
back to the early 1970s, and also a few sets of slides. When I tried
a scan of a few 1978 slides about ten years ago the slides seemed OK:

The first one is downtown Christchurch (NZ); the otther is also NZ.
I keep meaning to dig through the coxes of negatives; I'm pretty sure
that somewhere in there is a picture of Arianna Huffington (or, as she
was in those days, Arianna Stasinopoulos) from my 21st birthday party.
