From the moment I picked up my Brownie Hawkeye camera from beneath our Christmas tree and took my first photo, I fell in love with photography. Of course, it was during the film era. My photos were what would be defined today as "record shots." But each photo told a story and recorded a moment that would not be relived. These photos are preserved treasures in family albums. In my golden years I became part of the Digital Era filled with excitement and challenges. However, when I take digital photos, process them and print them, I do not see fstops, shutter speeds, ISO Settings when I look at my finished photo. I still see a moment in time that cannot be relived.
