Re: first PESO - last of winter?

I really like the concept here.  I think the image would be stronger if you 
had gotten in closer so that the detail of the wind tracings became more 
prominent.  But a cool idea still.

Hi,
I finally managed to scan some pictures. I wanted to share this one:
http://www.vollholz.de/bilder/peso/winterspiel.jpg
It's more for the idea and the issue, technically it looks awful at the 
moment. As I learned, my local lab does not scratch films, but in their 
minilab any material that isn't digital is first scanned and then printed 
from the scan input. I looked at the print with a loupe, fine details show 
artifacts and halos. contrast is also annoying. So the scan I made from 
the print was quite low in quality, I hop the neg is better.

That makes me think of purchasing a film scanner, any recommendations? I 
remember that somebody was using a minolta scan dual, I was thinking of 
the version 4. That seems to be a compromise between price and image 
quality.

Thanks for looking and any comments,
pancho
