My first SLR was an AE-1 with a 50/1.4 kit lens that I purchased in 1976. My daughter just used that camera last semester in a photography class at her college.

The AE-1 was my only SLR until I purchased a 40D this past September.

If it's stationary or moves, I shoot it. However, no amount of love or money will get me to shoot a wedding or any other special occasion.

I could not find the dest place to put this post, this was active so I chose here.
First time on in 4 years, need help with a PC program. Back then we purchase a program that did things to photos like putting a circle around the picture and many great things, PC crashed and would like to find this program again if some one could help it will be very good.

Pentax K1000 w/50mm, then AE-1, then A-1, then Minolta 500?, then Nikon 8700, Xt, 30D. Holding at 30D for now.
Back in the film days, darkroom stuff was more important. Many a ruined tub/sink. I think that's why the parents wanted to adopt me out.
