When I stop I take the stack of lyrics and p… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I knew this was going to take a LONG time to complete, so I set aside time EVERY day to scan. I made a pile of pictures or boxes of slides to complete that day and just did it. Originally I thought I only had 10,000 photos and that seemed like a lot, but when I found out it was 5 X's that amount...I felt defeated...for a second..and then continued on my way to do them all.
