Not too bad...would look much better if it was in a higher quality, but because of the age of the prints and because of scanning without a photo-quality scanner, quality loss is expected.
Save up some money and buy yourself a camera, preferably with a macro function for closeups. All my shots are taken with an olympus c-5050 zoom (35mm-104mm equivalent) with a focusing distance of 3cm.
Anyways, at your library, look for camera reviews in a consumer reports book. You can by a fairly good point-and-shoot for around $100. SLRs are more expensive, mainly because of the cost of lenses. I started out on my parent's old Nikon- manual focus, aperature-priority (you set the aperature, the camera sets the shutter speed). So, once you feel comfortable with your point-and-shood, buy a secondhand camera and some used books on photography. As your needs grow, you can buy more and more lenses for your purposes (telephoto, wide-angle, macro). Then, look at more advanced film SLRs, or a high-end point-and-shoot. The most important idea is to keep experimenting, don't be afraid to try new techniques.
