I used to be a purist.<\/h3>\n

I loved my old Nikon FE.<\/strong> \u00a0It was a heavy, durable, almost-professional grade camera that I’d gotten as a going-away present when I left in college for Semester at Sea. \u00a0I was going to Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Egypt, \u00a0Greece, Spain, and other countries. \u00a0I enjoyed photography generally, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. \u00a0\"Andrew<\/a><\/p>\n

So I got a heavy duty, durable camera.<\/strong> \u00a0And I was loyal to that camera for decades. I shot everything Manual. Everything had to be painstakingly adjusted. \u00a0Film speed\/ASA, F stop, aperture, shutter speed, all considering the lighting conditions and the desired mood.<\/p>\n

It lasted from 1980 and thousands of photos until 1990 when my first son was born.<\/p>\n

Kids move fast!<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the time I got the camera setting adjusted, he wasn’t being cute any more. Frankly, he wasn’t even in the same room.<\/p>\n

In 1990, my wife got me a Canon Rebel for my birthday.<\/strong> \u00a0I initially resisted. \u00a0Digital? Digital was for amateurs. \u00a0Automatic settings? \u00a0For backyard beginners who bought their camera because Andre Agassi was advertising it on TV.<\/p>\n

But I had to admit, the pictures came out great.<\/strong> \u00a0More importantly, you got the shot you wanted, because the camera did all the work. \u00a0And you can’t argue with results.<\/p>\n

Hey, live and learn.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
