What time do you wear?

Do you enjoy digital photography Albert? I like to take pictures, but I am not the best at it. I recently purchased Lightroom and it is quite amazing at what can be done to a picture.

Digital is fine, it's better than film in some ways and worse in others.

It's what we have now, Kodak is bankrupt and I don't know if Fuji even makes their specialized slow speed films anymore. I never shot anything faster than 100 ASA and mostly 32 speed or slower.

I plan on purchasing Lightroom when I change computers.

I've used Apple computers since my first desktop, many years before my first digital camera. It seems they have forgotten the pro users that stuck with them when they were on the rocks and near failure.

All they seem to be able to do now is crank out iPhones and won't spare a tiny crew that could produce a refresh on the long overdue, Pro Tower.

Isochronism
Albert,
I bet just a quick glimpse at your archive of photos brings all the great memories right back!

Exactly.

I'm still stunned when I view a Velvia or Kodachrome original with a Schneider high power loupe. There is something in those emulsions there that's as real as viewing real life.

I only wear a watch for social occasions. I have a nice black faced rectangle Movado for social events and a Swiss Army waterproof for when I'm out on the boat, or hunting; other than that I do not wear a watch

Still have the 1999 Omega Seamaster.

I wear a Victorinox Alliance 241474. It's a nice quartz movement with a black dial, black leather strap and shows the date. That's all I personally need so it took me awhile to find something I liked with only the features that I needed. I guess it was similar to my quest to find my next integrated amp. Why pay more for features you'll never use?

It's too bad about Kodak. I live in Rochester so the bankruptcy really hits home. When I was a kid, Kodak employed 65,000 people here. I heard on the radio this morning that when they emerge from bankruptcy in September it will be down to 2,000. It's amazing to drive by the factory these days. Closed down businesses everywhere around it. Still, our economy here has rebounded quite well as all these ex Kodak employees started up dozens of small buisinesses in imaging, medical technology, chemicals and so on. This city would be nothing had it not been for George Eastman and Kodak.
