I know this is off-topic, but this is a good question that
can help the list.

That jpeg is a scan of a regular point-n-shoot film camera. The
scanner's software allows you to adjust a lot of settings. By using
a small Output Resolution (around 150 or 200), and a Sharpen
Level of Medium, instead of High, you can reduce the size of the
jpeg's file size without making the actual image appear smaller.
Take a new scan tho -- trying to shrink an existing file will not
give good results.
Most digital cameras allow you to adjust the resolution used also.
You just need to play around with what you have.
