I can't say I'm amazed at the quality, but I think you have managed to record
the look of what were rather ordinary snapshots. Scanning, even on a flatbed
with photo attachement like the Epson 3200, would be a better solution and
would probably take only a bit longer. I did enjoy the pics. Old snaps are fun.
