Another age related post—this seems to be becoming something
of a theme!
This time it’s about cameras.
I was sitting in a work meeting the other day when someone
announced that he would be willing to take a photo of the group using a
“film camera”. Shock, horror! It was apparent that this guy considered this type of camera to be something rather
unusual, something rather old fashioned, in fact. And it transpired that it’s a hobby of his to
take photos with a film camera.
The thing is, although I’ve used a digital camera for some
years now, still, when I think about it, this seems a little strange to me. I grew
up before digital cameras were around and so my first cameras were, inevitably,
non-digital. I still occasionally find it odd that, in order to view my holiday
snaps, I no longer need to get a film developed.
Quite the opposite was true for my colleague, of course.
I suppose that’s the outcome of working with a group of people
the majority of whom are (at least) ten years younger than me...
