Thanks, everybody! The monument itself was around 4 foot/1.2 meters tall and dates from the 1800's.

Dolls? What do you mean?

Oh sorry to be so late Kenny. My dolls always like to help with scale. That's all, since some were not getting the size of the monument (I did) ..... (It wasn't the best joke). :)

I see what you mean. That's a good idea, putting something like a doll in the picture to show the scale. I'll have to try that sometime.

I chose black and white because I could develop it myself. I haven't gotten into color developing yet, but I'd like to try it someday. For me, black and white is a quick medium because I can shoot it and develop it in the same day. In fact, I didn't finish shooting this roll until about 1 a.m. So, I had to develop it, let it dry and force myself to wait until it was completely dry before I started scanning some of the negatives! For me the waiting is always the hardest part.
