My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I *think* both of those were scanned
from photos. I think I took the pic of Jason, and the photo of Neil's
truck, I beileve I also took the big pic that appears in the calendar,
but the inset was your digital pic. In looking over my records, your
digital pic actually got more votes than the big pic, but the digital
photo didn't scale well, so I was forced to use it as an inset and
use the 35mm for the main pic. (IIRC, that particular photo wasn't
taken at full resolution, I remember you had sent me a couple of
full-on pics from your camera and they were a lot bigger than this
one was.)
