Well I don't know what the rules here are about touching
wildflowers, and I would just as soon not find out.
These are growing outside a library near me whose
backyard has been turned into a wet land preserve. I
figure if I don't touch it, I can't get fined.
Some have mentioned that I should go to a pro lab. Well
as far as I know these are done by a pro lab. After a
tragic incident involving people who had two entire
weeks of training on the 1 hour machine, I swore off 1-
hours except for emergencies. I asked this list for
recomendations here in the Austin area and two came back
Holland Photo and Precision Camera. Holland is closer
and that is where these shots where done.
