When I was a high school photographer, back in the days of chemical processing and actual rolls of FILM, I kept all the negatives of all the photos I took.
The ones that were horrible I mostly disposed of, but all the ones I knew I’d someday want to look at again were lovingly slid into plastic sheets in a three ring binder I keep in my office to this day. The year after I graduated the world became a digital one, and I fought the transition tooth and nail…
Until I realized the freedom that a 4 gigabyte micro SD memory card could provide when you’re on the move. Then I got my first decent Canon Powershot. I’ve pined for a digital SLR for nearly a decade now, and even once ordered one from a shifty internet store… that turned out not to have them in stock.
This photoblog is an archive, like that negative binder, for myself and the world. I’ve done the best with what I had to work with. The shots I’ve loved or really liked… past, present and hopefully into the future. Comments very much appreciated. =)
Enjoy.
Hi Mary
I found your blog when trying to identify a photo I had taken of a purple flower (happy to say with your help, it’s honesty – lunaria annua).
I just wanted to comment to say: your photos are fantastic and I’m very impressed they are taken with a P&S camera, rather than a D-SLR. I am also a P&S shooter, and also often covetous of a D-SLR, but don’t want to buy one (expense & weight) and love finding fabulous photographers working with a P&S. Keep it up!
Best wishes,
Oanh
Thanks for the comment!! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who’s coping with less “ritzy” equipment out there. =)
