I've got a box full of old 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 cameras and carriers that will never see action again. I was able to get rid of my 4x5 collection years ago when I stopped doing giant formats. Now a few pocket cameras seem to do the trick. I have a SLR that I haven't used much that I bought a few years ago, because the little pocket ones are so easy to use. And you don't have to cart around a camera bag.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-76096885814931838172011-05-29T16:19:25.316-05:002011-05-29T16:19:25.316-05:00Tancho,

I also have enough film gear in every film size to put a Nat Geo pro into paroxysms of laughter at my olde-fashioned gear... But unlike dudes with a digital cameras who snap, snap, snap away willy nilly, and then delete, delete, delete.. I find that taking the time to set up a good shot is worth it - if only in self-satisfaction. The cost of 4x5 Tri-X film makes caution a great virtue...<br /><br />and YES, I do have a digital toy that nestles in my shirt pocket when we travel - to my shame & chagrin (freaking clear images for nothing!)

With a bit of digital wizardry, I got exactly the look I wanted. I remember too well the days of readjusted prints in the dark room. Don't miss it at all.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-88301949141078405282011-05-27T11:32:36.426-05:002011-05-27T11:32:36.426-05:00Jerry, I tried to sell my darkroom stuff on Ebay a...Jerry, I tried to sell my darkroom stuff on Ebay about 3 or 4 years ago to no avail. Wound up taking it over to Goodwill, sad really sad, technology may be cheap, but the memories of how much I paid for the other stuff is expensive.<br />Felipe,you are so right, I just tried that, and it recognized the head on my dog...face is a face I guess. This is my 4 or 5th camera, the first digital had a minuscule screen that was no larger than the view finder and had a whopping 750K pixels...and it was more expensive that what I just got and did virtually nothing.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-63815695965389982412011-05-27T09:26:39.245-05:002011-05-27T09:26:39.245-05:00Funny you should mention this.

I took a shot of the stone Catrina in my yard and, sure enough, the camera zeroed in right on her face. So, it doesn't have to be a real human face. Anything that resembles a face will do. Odd world we live in.<br /><br />-- FelipeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-21303791091807340792011-05-26T22:47:51.262-05:002011-05-26T22:47:51.262-05:00I have a garage full of stuff that it took to make...I have a garage full of stuff that it took to make something that comes out of my 99 dollar printer.
