Good News! 

The test rolls came out great. Luckily it looks as though the film wasn't damaged by any climate ware and tear after all! I am thrilled to say the very least. What a relief.

They recounted stories of those they recognized in the images layered between the text. There is a sense of warm nostalgia that emanates from her smile as she seems to recount times passed.
