Slides! Yard Sale!

So this weekend My Husband,Son, & I went to a Yard Sale..... This Guy passed and the wife was getting rid of ALL his Stuff. He was in to so many things... I am getting into Photography even more than ever... any who!

I found in a crap load of Photography. & the wife did not want it at ALL...
I got them for ( $5 )

I have slides dated from Oct. 67 to 1981. Maybe even earlier/later. Names on the slide box (Reese Palley) to Miss America 1976. Airplane pic's (looks like Booms) in one. He must of been in the military. I can keep going.

So I don't know if I have a question, or if I'm Just Blabbing off!!!

I have not a clue to how to put them onto the computer!

I just don't know.......

No.. I will go over and ask her to sign do you think I need it notarized?

I was mostly asking to see if you had thought about it and to get an idea for what you had planned for the slides. Just because you have the slides doesn't mean that you can go and sell the images.
You shouldn't need anything notarized, just a signed contract, and I am sure someone here who isn't just a poser like me could help you find an example contract to have her sign.
If they are really good and you think that you might want to market some of them you might even show up with $200 in your pocket in case she looks reluctant.

Being a good artist is great, but being a good business man can be handy too. Michael Jackson made more money off of The Beatles songs then he did off of his own for example

I just ordered that today. Going to see how well it works, my friend said that a member of her family has one and it works pretty good. Can't wait.

And awesome find at the yardsale!!

Thanks!

So I did find Reese Palley.
ReesePalley.com
I'm waiting to hear back from the site to see if he knew this guy. It turns out that Reese Palley had a store in Atlantic city.

I'm stopping at the house tonight to see if there is anything I missed.

Fireplug when you get it could you let me know what you think.



OMG ish........ I just got a call (NOT JOKING) from Reese Palley and his wife. He called me from Paris....OMG ish I am so stoked.... He said when they get back he would like to meet with me to look over all the slides. Him & his wife said they will come up to me! I am not kidding not one bit........

OMG ish

I am shaking From Paris...............I'​m so HAPPY Pete thank you for the Google reminder.
