All pictures were scanned using a Hewlett-Packard PhotoSmart scanner directly from slides. No cropping or digital manipulation was performed except some minor contrast and color saturation adjustments to match the picture attribute on the original slides. (the HP scanner is known to produce washed-out results when scanning slides) . What you see here is what you see on the slides.
