[pure-silver] Re: Amusing Kodak commercial

Dear Dana,
You may be right. The digital camera seems to be made by Canon and is a Powershot S2. I imagine in other hands it would perform wonders - in mine it makes a fine paperweight. I cannot imagine that even in clear open sun I could coerce it into firing when I wanted it to. Indeed I need to exercise my powers of anticipation when I use my Hasselblad 500-series cameras during our fighting contests. There is a very small interval to capture a sword stroke. The bleeding you can pose as much as you like....
I shall not condemn digital completely out of hand as one of my holiday presents was a very large Epson scanner. I am told by the donor that this will enable me to scan negatives and put them on a website, which is also part of the present. I shall wait patiently - I note that the scanner will even take my 8 x 10 negs as well as all the smaller sizes. Perhaps good will come of it.
Meantime it is back into the dark after tea and tonight it is 35mm negs printed to full-plate size prints with borders. Three hours in the dark with old-tyme radio and a pot of coffee. I love the life of luxury....

PS: I do have SOME manifestations of modernity in my life. I shoot a cap-lock shotgun sometimes. Fair go....
