So looking at my soft, ill exposed and somewhat fogged negatives I scanned a couple of them for fun and here you go. 1) http://www.pbase.com/rsilfverberg/image/73980045.jpg 2) http://www.pbase.com/rsilfverberg/image/73980048.jpg More detailed rambling and some more photos here: http://silfver.blogspot.com/2007/02/when-it-all-goes-wrong.html /Rich
