Back In The Olden Days

Daily Photo

Well, it's that time of year again.  June at Klipsch is "you-better-use-your-remaining-vacation-days-or-you-will-lose-them" month...being the thrifty person I am, I'll be taking the next few Mondays off.  I consider it a reward for never actually going anywhere.

As I sit at home updating my recently recovered computer, I've found myself browsing through some old photos.  This one of a 6-month-old Steven was scanned from a print photo taken with a camera that you load film into.  You know.  The cylinder thing with the tab sticking out from it that you pull.  Then when you can't click the camera anymore, you take it somewhere to get developed.  And you won't know what your pictures look like until you get them back.  You know.  F-I-L-M.

Looking at this picture makes me almost want to do the whole baby-thing all over again.  But then I recall the sleepless nights, constant spit up, arc of pee at every diaper change, sore back, sore feet, swollen joints...oh, and that pesky labor thing, and the appeal of this sweet picture just isn't enough. 

My utmost respect goes out to all women who brave it more than once.  And the men who endure them.

Film looks better. Great shot Amy. Mondays are tough in Tech Support- people always buy new speakers or break their old ones on the weekend. I'm taking a few days off myself, I think I'll wax the boat today...

Great shot.  

I've become a fan of digital for normal snapshots / family photos as it eliminates the ongoing expense of getting pictures printed and the storing of hundreds and thousands of said prints.  Many not so good.

Of course now there's gigabytes of digital storage but at least it doesn't take up as much room.  

And you can always print a picture or have one printed to hang on the wall.  

I can't argue with Michael that film looks better but I'm too lazy and don't want to deal with the hassle of film anymore.  

That said, I hope to get a nice digital SLR body and a couple of lenses someday rather than the cheap point and shoot digital cameras we have now.  

For now at least, I'll leave film to the professionals.
