Bye, Bye...Old Camera's Magic

-
I finally decided to say goodbye to my long-term faithful friend, who supported me all through the years, starting with the photography class in 1998...So many beautiful moments I shared with him. So many moments I captured with him... And now it's time to say goodbye and face the realities of the new technology - the digital technology of a camera...And that's really, really sad...

That's HIM - my 13-year old camera...




I'm talking about my Nikon, the old fashioned one - not a digital one...The camera that required spending many hours in a dark room, developing and re-developing and re-touching black and white the old fashioned way. Yes, I've done it. And my friend - my Nikon - has been always there for me, even on my first trips abroad. Here's some I selected to share with you:

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...
