| Description |
I spent the last few months looking through my archives on and off and before I knew it, it hit me that I had been taking digital photographs for 10 years now. My Mickey Mouse graduation cup says 2004 on it, oh my! Has it been THAT long?!! I dug through all my photos and picked out 10 shots per year and put them into a photobook as a Christmas present to myself haha. Prior to the digital age, I was still using a Contax RTS II with a Carl Zeiss 50mm f1,7 and 28mm f2,8 that my dad gave me for my 17th birthday. That camera/lens combo is literally as old as I am and was his camera setup. My baby photos were from this combo and I remember taking a picture of a leaf in a gutter in Hong Kong (7~8yrs old) and asking him how do I know when it's sharp. His response was it's sharp when it looks sharp. I guess that makes sense. :D Looking back now, we've loved Banff and had been driving out there on our own for basically as long as I've had a car of my own. We usually try to avoid the big busy weekends and will offset our visit by a week or so. Besides, it's usually cheaper the week prior and after the holidays anyway. This was the week after Valentine's Day. I remember this fairly well. We had dinner at Giorgio's (sadly now closed earlier this Fall) and I had gotten her a stuffed monkey that we named Giorgio. This is a view from across the Banff Avenue Bridge looking back towards the town with Cascade Mountain in the background. I vaguely remember this Sony P10 digital point and shoot. I believe it was our first one that could do 5 megapixels. I think it was believed once upon a time that in order to match 35mm film, you needed 5 megapixels. I'm not sure how true that is, especially now that we have better film scanners. |
