Since that time I have been through more cameras than I care to count, each one a bit better than the last. I have been all digital for the last 3 years for all practical purposes. My film to digital transition started in 2000 and the improvements since that time eclipsed improvements in film over the last 70 years and there does not seem to be an end in sight
I have been involved in photography at some level since grade school. This picture of me is years, no, decades old, but I actually still have the double lens reflex camera, which was a hand-me-down when my father bought his first 35mm camera.
