A saguaro-rib pole, called a ku'ipad, is used to knock the fruit to the ground. Saguaros can grow to over 30 feet tall and the fruit is on the top of the arms. The slides in this collection were filmed on Kodachrome 64 film. In 2003 the slides were scanned on a Minolta Dimage Multiscan Pro at 48 bit color. Each TIFF scan was 11.68 inches by 7.88 inches with a resolution of 300 ppi. The file size was approx. 47.4 MB. In Nov 2006, the original TIFF scans were cropped, color corrected, resized to 6.08 inches by 8.89 inches with a resolution of 72 ppi and converted to JPEGs using ACDSee, v8.0.
