Rarely took 'em out of the glassine envelopes.  Recently transferred them 
to see-through vinyl.  Some were scratched a bit but a little PS took care 
of it.  Playing around with these negs was really fun.  Film is still so 
great if you don't need the (many) advantages of digital.  I don't think 
this series would look the same shot with a DSLR or E1.  Film seems 
"realer" somehow. ;-)
