Snap

My daughter said that she wants to take photography next year, and would need a special camera. It costs $250, she said.

Well, then, I replied, I guess you won't be taking photography next year. But why a special one? You've got a nice digital one.

Oh, she said, it has to use film. 35mm film. And it has to be an SLR.

I handed her my Canon AE1. Like that?

She was astounded.

It was roughly the same reaction as she had when she saw my wife unlock the car door without using the remote.
