Snap

Decades ago, I bought a Canon EOS camera. It was my pride and joy. Eventually, it was supplanted by an AE-1, which was even niftier. Now we use a Canon Powershot, but I still miss the heft of the older ones.

Thursday, my daughter starts a photography course at school. She needed 'an old manual camera'.

Apparently, EOS stands for Extremely Old System.

I've always wanted a Pentax K1000. It's the camera we used in college. Now that film and processing is so hard to come by, I've decided to be content and grow my skills with my good old Canon Rebel. It's only about five or six years old, and even IT is considered a dinosaur now.

This afternoon, she played with the camera a bit. She was aware that it was in Manual mode, but, even so -- Focus? Advance the film? No Movie Mode? No immediate transfer to the laptop? Très ennuyeux!
