One Slide Digitised

I took a single Agfa slide and digitised it this morning (pictured). This is me. A caption: "Where am I? Who put me here?" And someone lovingly put a garland on my head. My vests didn't last long, but they are still etched on me today -- the outline of them burnt into my skin by the sun. OBSERVATION: My Kodak device -- called the Kodak Scanza -- will permit me to feed Kodak slides through it, effortlessly and efficiently. However, in order to digitise this Agfa slide, I needed to dismantle the Kodak tray. Once that is done, it will handle one Agfa slide at a time, but one can't feed them through. There seems to be no loss of image quality (Agfa slides are fractionally closer to the lens than Kodak).
