Jim, David,
I am planning a Deception build for next season, and coincidentally, I have a website where I offer slide scanning services and photo restoration. I would be happy to scan these historic photos of Jim's Deception gratis. I have a professional Nikon slide scanner capable of 4000dpi scans. Many of you have seen some of my old pattern planes which were slide scans and image cleanups. Jim, let me know by PM or direct email if you'd like to have me scan your images for you.

Jim,
always nice to have
the designer himself back on the thread!
Thanks for the beautiful photos. They look like they date back to early 80's and shot with Ektachrome or similar and scanned in to Acrobat. While I'm grateful for any images of any Deceptions ever built - they're all beautiful to me - those particular slides should be preserved in the best possible quality. Just to note, slides produce absolutely stunning scans into high resolution digital files. They can be scanned directly into Photoshop at the highest resolution that the scanner is able to rasterize the slide at much in the same way that Acrobat can do it except it would produce a digital photo file (JPG) rather than a PDF file.
If you and/or your son were interested in doing that, I'm sure those images would deserve to be at the AMA as well as... here of course
Expect to see several Deception on these pages next year!
David.
