Just send them to the address below.  I can scan flatwork or slides 
and I can even capture video.

I hope by the New Year to have the new, improved, whiter whites, 
redder, reds, no wax build-up expanded Neon-L area on my website 
and this is exactly the sort of thing I am hoping to get from 
everyone.  Well no I don't mean everyone has to win the 'Parade of 
Lights'  - just send neat stuff like this whenever you feel like it 
folks!

Happy Holidays!
