Point well taken with the contrast, Philippe...I blew the exposure on
these...must have had heatstroke b/c I made some conversion errors going from
sunny-16 to my Holga's limited aperture/shutter speed options.  :(

I ended up with very underexposed negs, and tried my best to salvage 
them, but I
think you're right and they could still use some more contrast.  I'll 
keep it in
mind when I get to the prints...

Thanks for looking and commenting,
Aaron
