I remember playing Slick Willie on Mac OS7ish. Move Clinton's head around eating Big Macs and avoiding things like subpoenas and Monica Lewinsky.

Sometimes doing things wrong works out well. I'm shocked at how fine the grain is.

Black and white film photo of a brick smokestack atop a building, shot from below with little of the building in the image

Cropped view of the previous photo, focused on the "heating plant" sign along the roof, showing the individual bricks thanks the very fine film grain

As someone who works in a cancer center mixing chemo, we should do all we can to prevent cancer. HPV shots, anti-smoking campaigns, support for alcoholics, better sunscreens...

Having lived there I can say there is a wide variety of pizzas (very thin, thin, not-too-thick pizza from a Greek-owned Italian restaurant cut into squares, thick) with a huge variety of toppings. Maybe for sheer options of pizza it could be the capital.

That's exactly the one. I had to buy the negative holders, but I certainly won't complain about a free scanner.

I've come into possession of a film scanner. I foresee a LOT of rescanning

Lab scan of expired Kodak Gold 400 35mm film. Using 35mm film in a medium format camera makes a panoramic shot with the film's margins exposed as part of the image. A woman in a puffy coat and crocheted hat stands in the middle of the frame with pines fading away in the background

Home scan of expired Kodak Gold 400 35mm film, with more contrast and color saturation than the lab scan. Using 35mm film in a medium format camera makes a panoramic shot with the film's margins exposed as part of the image.

This dumb little doodle near Hungry Hurse Dam in MT me think "Matty" for some reason. You're where my brain goes whenever I think "mouse" for some reason. Just take a lil time and you'll be doing your thing soon enough.
