Facing the dreaded digital future with trepidation.

It won’t be long before I have to make a change
To a higher realm of imaging to keep me up to date.
There’s only four more shots left on my dime store camera
So it’s digital for me–digitalis for my heart rate.

Whatever shall I photograph with the film that I have left?
I must put something wonderful on the final photo docket–
Something real unusual that not been filmed before
Like a politician with his hand in his own dang pocket.

Nice to hear that you are going to become a politician with your newly found digital camera.I hope that you will not quit or resign until you reach your acme.Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like you are rebelling change. Well penned piece.

LOL good ending ~ you should use the last pictures for the things you love the most

Digital is not hard to use or understand at all. If you can do the computer, you can do the camera=)

I LOVE IT! But you are going to love having a digital camera; I put it off for a long, long time. I used those disposable cameras when I couldn’t get film anymore. Now, I have no clue what I did without being able to shoot 400 pictures or make a movie if I want. I just have to remember to keep extra batteries on hand.

My daughter has a digital camera, but I haven’t tried using it yet. I’ve never had much luck taking good pictures with any kind of camera.

We really have to keep up with the times. Soon enough you will thank Sony for pioneering digital photography, at least you could preview a shot on the LCD without waiting for a film to get processed.

A man at the edge a precipice…a leap of faith needed perhaps. I can sympathise. I may be young but I still struggle with light switches

Ken, you will so love your new digital camera. Mine is just wonderful. I don’t know how I would get along without it.

Dear friends, I have tried to comment on your work but I can’t get even one comment in on the switch overs.I hope it will work by tomorrow.I only had 3 comments on my newest so I know you are having trouble too.
