2,000 a week! Sure . . with a digital camera. My first photos were with a hand-me-down folding camera that used 116 roll film. I had to save up enough money to buy a roll of film, black and white of course, and got eight shots on a roll. Then, took the film to the drug store to get it developed. That cost more money. My eagerly awaited results usually took four or five days to get returned. Later I learned to develop my own. Now, many years later, I too have a digital camera. What a relief! I can appreciate the efforts of people like Weston, Steichen, Adams, Karsh and many other great photographers who did it without digital. Today’s APOD is a beauty! My complements to Jens Hackmann.
