Scanner Problems?

You probably have noticed that I post terrible pictures from my phone or ipad.  These pictures tend to have some distortion and occasional glare from the lights. 

My scanner wasn't working and it was easy to just use the Apple devices to take the pictures.  When I say my scanner wasn't working, I mean that I couldn't properly use the scanner.  Today I decided to check it out and sure enough I found the problem with the scanner - it was me!

I hope to begin posting scanned pictures going forward.
