In 1957, this was my 'brand new camera!' In High School, I was one of few to have a movie camera. It was an 8 mm Wollensak (shown above) and the film lasted a whooping 3 minutes -- NO color and NO sound. It was outstanding!
Today, it's a dinausaur.
Everything changes! As Steve Jobs once told his team: "You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new!"
Regardless of the camera, I've always loved taking pictures. Still do! They capture memories to be revisited whenever you want.
I used to drive my family and friends crazy taking pictures -- but photos are important.
Today -- I'm even worse! I am 'smart-phone-prepared -- ready to snap a memory at any time. If you ask me which of my photos is my favorite I would tell you: 'The one I'm going to take tomorrow!' I'm dangerous!
Someone once told me that photographers are actually violent people:
First they frame you, then they shoot you; then they hang you on the wall.
But I always say: "Even though the format for the pictures might change, the memories never change".
We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.
LIVE LIFE, MAKE MEMORIES, TAKE PICTURES . . . . RE-LIVE LIFE!
