Of his thriving business, Dan said: “I love the joy I bring to people when they view images they haven’t seen in years.” He told me about an elderly client who brought in her 8 mm film to transfer to DVD. When she viewed the DVD for the first time in front of Dan, she started crying. Dan asked her if something was wrong with the transfer, and she replied no — she simply had been moved to tears after seeing images of herself as a baby being bathed tenderly in a sink by her late mother.

I can also speak of my personal experience: When my Dad passed away a few years back, my mom gave me all of their old 8mm films. Dan took them all, and transferred them to dvd for my mom, and my sisters. The footage was amazing….my parents when the got engaged, married, and all of us as we grew! Needless to say, I won for the greatest gift ever! It was of great comfort to my mother to be able to watch those films and remember the special moments.
