Neat pictures I've taken

[glatt]

This is a negative that I imaged over the weekend. This process is working fairly well. I have cut the total processing time per image down to around 30 seconds.

Anyway, I think this is a fun picture. I'm the kid in the red and blue tank top. At this zoo in Tuscon, they had the tortoises in a petting zoo kind of area, where you could play with them. We dragged all of them out of the little cave in the background, lined them all up and made them race. Some were faster than others, and for those that were slow, we tried cheering them on. When that didn't work, you can see that I'm knocking on their shells to get them to move. My sister next to me is too.

There was nobody from the zoo there to supervise, and my parents thought our behavior was fine. It may have even been their idea. You could never get away with doing this today. Manhandling the animals!
