Dinosaur In Digital Age


I am for sure a dinosaur in the digital age. Although I did purchase a small compact digital camera about three years ago, I remain in the point and shoot mode. To be honest, the pictures are fine, especially for a blog which uses images only about 2X3 inches. Never the less, being an old camera addict, I have begun to research available digital alternatives. There is a new photographic phrase called street photography, and descriptions of cameras most suited to that pursuit. As an old photographer from the street, I find that amusing.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER 30, 2024:In the 1970's, I used a Japanese 35mm and prime lenses. In the 2020's, I use a Japanese digital and prime lenses. Beyond the very basics, I remain a dinosaur and refrain from editing programs.

  1. Back then it took some talent to take good photos. The excitement when cameras had the light meter built in! Does anyone even know what a light meter is now? All this said, the clarity of digital photography is amazing, it's so easy to do, and frankly rather dull.
