I think that's a good plan. I wanted to do it because, apart from needing to be in control of it, I fully expected to continue producing film (I am not shy of cameras, and have just scanned in some from an Argus B and an Argus C3). Now though...I think I recently had an epiphany of sorts, that I need focus ('scuse the pun), and I've decided to concentrate on digital. I've a fairly good DSLR that frequently amazes me with its IQ, and I should take advantage of that rather than scattering and distracting myself. Also, excuse to buy a pocketable digi (Canon S95 maybe?)

Of course, I've still got all of the mother-out-law's photo albums to scan (I don't know why she didn't keep the negs). At least those will be quicker to scan, if more labour-intensive.

Very good. Photographically-speaking, I slightly disagree in that I try to capture beauty in everyone, and find from the experience that conventional standards of beauty are ridiculously exclusionary. Most everyone has that Something about them, but we rarely have the patience to give reasonable contemplation to seeing it (we're prone to sort aesthetics on brief first sight, rather than slow second).

You all are beautiful, though I cede that self-reflection almost always occurs through the Ugly Glasses.

I like photography.

Cheers,
Marc
