Like you, I fought the digital world tooth & nail but am a complete convert now - also mainly an iPhone-ographer these days. Still have my bags of DSLR & 645 gear, tripods etc. but rarely pull them out. My phone is like a pocket fairy and apps are the magic dust where everything happens ;>))<br /><br />I'm pleased this post struck a chord. Several of these women showed me paths I didn't know existed - even ones where I didn't want to go which is equally as valuable. Thanks so much for sharing what it meant to you.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-12359140608870857212016-03-16T13:40:53.487-07:002016-03-16T13:40:53.487-07:00I will not even begin to describe to you the hot p...I will not even begin to describe to you the hot pants outfits I used to put together ... loosely using the term *put together* ah hem.<br /><br />Lovely story about your pa and your photographic beginnings with him.

When I was a bit older I'd use the Uni darkroom in his department after hours. I have him to thank for my interest in making pictures. <br /><br />Had to giggle at the hotpants pic.

An adventurous spirit a key ingredient for all of them. And I think you have that at your loom ...

Mainly within digital storage files, I expect, for long gone are the days of holding hard copies of every print in our hands (which I for one am pleased about - less paper consumption, less darkroom chemical production, etc). The tiny little museum where I work here on Lopez has amassed an amazing digital collection of family images. When we began, the project was daunting but now several thousand images later, not so much. More food for thought?Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-62572679583637855962016-03-15T10:06:50.885-07:002016-03-15T10:06:50.885-07:00Seems a whole passel of us started out with Browni...Seems a whole passel of us started out with Brownies (and I was a 'Brownie' too altho I remember not liking it too much).

I'll be reading it over and over again. I loved seeing some of the photographers that have shared some of my time on earth. Looking back brought these women back to life for me. I too started out with a brownie camera (come to think of it I was a 'Brownie' when I got that first camera. I've never been without one, but until I started blogging they were used mostly to record family or places visited. Thank you so much for this -- I'll be looking at my little Cannon with new eyes.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-24754723900839265612016-03-15T03:50:03.826-07:002016-03-15T03:50:03.826-07:00Yup, my first camera WAS a Brownie.

We love to take pictures, but never play at focus, shading etc. I often, really I do think of this often..what will our great grand children have to look back at when they wonder who their ancestors were. Where will they find our digital pictures?<br />xx, Carol Carol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-39681470539677977202016-03-14T23:51:36.320-07:002016-03-14T23:51:36.320-07:00 the pictures are amazing there are something spec... the pictures are amazing there are something speciel about foto in black white i like very much . my first camera was a kind of little black box !!!!! you have a ability to find stories and pictures which made it interesting thank you bodil Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569242398319780051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-35677412404290717542016-03-14T21:09:32.410-07:002016-03-14T21:09:32.410-07:00Christi, these pictures are amazing!

( I have shared this post with him... you two have much in common!) I love the pictures of the poses on the top of the ladder and the top of the peak! No way I'd scale that high for a shot. But then, I'm more comfortable at a loom.....Such an adventure these women had and shared.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987946207197880637noreply@blogger.com
