RAW PT 2

Though I've given up on the concept of a Raw diet, I have embraced camera RAW.

It started with some very affordable film still cameras. I bought them, and was quite tickled that I'd be shooting film for production stills. But then something became apparent. I hate processing. Just loathe going to Sams Club, dropping off, waiting, picking up. I've done that for SOO LOOONG, it's not interesting to me anymore.

Thanks to heavens I recalled a SLR at the store. It was on clearance. It didn't come with a lens, yet the film cameras and the digital camera have the same make. The lenses are interchangeable. So I interchanged.

Sure, the fancy stuff is 10megpixels. This is only 8. ONLY 8! I was happy to have 2 megapixels back in my day!

Oh, it's like shooting film. That CMOS sensor, the lack of an lcd for frame up, oh, a dream.
Still, film is film so I'm keeping a still camera kit for special shots. Everything else is the lovely DSLR.

I feel like I've stepped up to the present day.
I stopped loving photography because of the lab runarounds. I'm very impatient with bad customer service, or delays, or being flakey. I want to see my images and I want to see them now. The DSLR gives me that. And frankly, I'll be saving money.

I looked into a carry around digital printer. Alas, it comes out to .30cent per print. You can do better emailing to Walgreens for $.19 And there's one of those on every corner.

Alright. I'm giddy that I could register Asswar.com.
The movie is meant to be.
