I spent 20 years with a Nikon taking pictures. Most of them transparencies. A few won awards. All of them now rest in a couple of shoeboxes. My grandkids will sort them out after I'm gone and wonder what they are. Almost all the photos of our kids were taken while we were cruising and we used a cheap (but waterproof) 110 camera. Those are in scrapbooks and everyone enjoying looking at them now and then. We have CDs of digital pics of the grandkids and our pets, the farm, and the lake house. I admire guys like Mark Sanders for their ability to capture the subtle moods of the sea in their photos but my own subtle moments are just burned into my memory; what little is left of it nowadays. Like classic wooden boats, I appreciate those who love them and restore them and I love to look at them. But I'd rather be out there doing it than inside fixing it up. Thanks for summing it up so succinctly. :) Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
