Stock Graphics

[Isabel Danforth]

Without scanner or paying for photo software, I have found that I can take
pictures with my 35 mm camera, and have them developed onto diskettes as
well as getting negatives and prints.  Then I have used msimager that comes
on my windows machine to do a bit of cropping.  It is not sophisticated,
but can be original.
