Blog FAQ

1. Why blogs & not web sites? Blogs are FREE. They allowed me to create family "pages" with easy links to over 3000 photos & videos.

2.Does anyone really look at all of this? At one time, yes. Now, few view. WHY? See # 5.

3. Why so many video versions of the same moment? The subject's the same but the video is not. (See the video below) I would also update a video as I created better quality transfers. The oldest versions remain online to link the better quality videos.

4. When did you start? I began restoring/uploading photos around the 2007 holidays. My first slide show was a memorial to my sister Diane who died April 2008. Following years with easily 1000's of hours invested in this project I ended for the most part around the 2012 holidays with updates as needed which are mostly the passing of family members.

5. Why end? Sadly, nearly all of the "old timers," featured are gone & their kids/grand kids just don't care. Combined, there are easily over 3000 images & videos.
More than THREE THOUSAND?

Yes, but it's like there are NONE since I rarely hear from any one. While I would often ask for family to contribute more photos/videos/ documents/stories, rare were they shared. With the decline in views & lack of participation it was time to turn off the projector & put away the albums.

This is a sample video of how the same subject is redefined showcasing it in a new way:
Yes, you may have seen this before but not in this way. First an 8mm screen shot slideshow:Thumbnail 
Doug, Donald, Diane, & Larry Tocci
1957. Donald's home coming. This is the ONLY video of the four Tocci siblings. In 1957, my father films Donald's welcome home. Diane passed away 2008, Doug in 2010. In NO OTHER TIME (that I'm aware of) is there video of the four of us posed together.



This begins out of order showing the four of us (cropping explained):

Cropping:
# 1 Close up of the four of us (you also see Grandma Cedrone & Marie Patane)
# 2 Close up of Doug & Grandma.
# 3 Close up of Diane.Video then begins in order with noticeable cropped footage.


One more look but this time, not cropped but transferred in FULL FRAME from sprockets to edge of film offering the biggest sampling of the moment:Tocci Siblings 1957
Then stepping back to the mid 80's (read the description):
