Exceeding My Wildest Expectations

I wish the title could apply to my approaching term papers, but I can't say that for sure yet. What I am refering to are my very first photos from Europe. I shot them in black and white, so it has taken me a long time to get around to developing them. I finally decided to get them done at Proex this afternoon, and I've just finished scanning them. What handy technology Macalester places at my disposal. I am really really exceptionally pleased with how they have turned out. I have another three rolls that are being sent out for processing (since they are not C41, they have to be done in a lab) and those should be back by early May. After that, the chronicling of my European saga will be complete! ZOMG!
