Well, apparently film still works. :-)
You've got some very nice shots there even if you're not happy with the
scans. I recognize some of the coastal scenes but most of what's there
I've not seen.
I Walmart is out of the film processing business I'm not sure where I
could have it done around here. Maybe no where. I almost went out with
an OM and some film yesterday. I'll have to check on where I can get it
processed if I do.
