Todd,

I have enjoyed these photos. No need to worry about the quality. I wish
more people would share photos and not worry about the quality.

I recognize the "pebble paper" they are printed on. I think a lot of the
110 and 126 film was printed on that so the casual viewer couldn't tell how
soft the focus really was. I shot a lot of 110 film around the same time-
all I could afford as a teenager. I have found now that using a photo
scanner to scan the negatives, and then adjusting the color (they have all
shifted green or blue), I can get some decent images, and you lose the
honeycomb look. I am attaching a photo from the summer of 1976 of a freshly
repainted former-EL bay window caboose at Meadville. Not a bad picture
despite the tiny negative source. Not something a rivet-counter could use,
but still not bad in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing,
Joe Mayer
