A Complete Approach to Your Family’s History

Your family’s story is told through a mix of tapes, film reels, and photo albums. I’ve spent years equipping my Colwood workshop to handle your entire collection under one roof. Because everything stays right here with me, you never have to worry about your irreplaceable memories being lost in the mail or handled by a factory.

VHS, Hi8, and MiniDV tapes degrade a little more every year. I play your tapes on high-end, maintained decks to get the clearest picture possible.

The flicker of 8mm or Super 8 is magic. I capture it frame-by-frame, so you can see your parents’ wedding motion without the “jitter” of old projectors.

I know how sticky album pages can be. I can scan the entire page to preserve the “scrapbook” context, or I can meticulously remove each photo for individual scanning.

I digitize entire photo albums with care — scanning pages as-is or safely removing photos to save you money. Sticky pages welcome.

Remember the specific click-clack sound of the slide projector? I use a ridiculously high resolution scanner that scans each slide 3 times to get the best exposure for your memories.

From mixtapes to the only recording of a grandparent’s voice, I treat audio with the same respect as video. I listen to the signal to ensure we capture the sound, not the hiss.

Negative scanning captures superior detail, color, and clarity that paper prints simply can’t match, preserving your history in its truest form.

I digitally repair rips, tears, color and clarity, ensuring your family’s history remains as vibrant as the day it was captured.

Got a stack of burnt CDs labeled “Backup 2002”? I have the drives to read them when modern laptops can’t.

I can help weave your photos into a video tribute for memorials and special events.

The Right Tool for Every Memory

I don’t use “all-in-one” gadgets or cheap plastic converters. I maintain a fleet of specialized professional equipment to ensure every specific format is captured with the highest possible clarity and care.

For Slides

I use dedicated film scanners like the Pacific Image PowerSlide X Plus to capture the true depth and color of 35mm slides with a triple-pass exposure that reveals details standard scanners miss

For Photos

I use high-fidelity flatbed scanners to capture the true depth of paper prints without the streaks or “glare” common in office equipment.

For Film

I use frame-by-frame digital capture. This turns every individual frame of your 8mm film into a crisp digital image, eliminating the “flicker” and jitter of old projectors.

For Video

I maintain a library of playback decks and camcorders. This ensures your tapes are captured with a steady, clear picture that looks better than it ever did on your old VCR.
