Having switched from B/W to color film and now to digital, I'm finding photography even more enjoyable. The pictures in these galleries have for the most part been unedited except for increasing the contrast and saturation as required by most digital images especially those from the Minolta S404. Comments and votes are always welcome. Aloha
