Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Thu Jul 15 09:17:55 2010, in response to Re: Happy 20th birthday, L. A. Metro Blue Line, posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Jul 14 21:45:23 2010. Thanks, Paul. Took them with a point-and-shoot 35mm camera (or might've even been my 12-year-old (at the time) 110 camera)! Very low-tech (the 35mm), didn't even have auto-advance, had to load the film manually (which caused me some problems a few times when the spool didn't grab the film and it retracted, meanwhile I was snapping away, unaware until I opened the film door) :( By 1994, I was able to get a decent camera (still point-and-shoot, but with auto-load, auto-advance, even a slight zoom, IIRC). Think it was a Canon, but I'm not 100% sure. Had it until it died in mid-2002. Strangest thing, I would turn it on, and it had power, but the lens door wouldn't open. If I had still been in Southern Caifornia at that time, I could've just made one call to my longtime friend, who is quite the amateur photographer, he would have put me in touch with a reputable repair shop and I might still be using it. But alas, I was in South Florida, where 99% if any potential camera repair places would be fucking third-world garbage ripoff artists, and I didn't have the time or inclination to look for the 1% honest, so I had to buy a piece of shit Vivitar which wasn't nearly as good. Struggled with that for 5 years until it died on me during a trip to NYC (had to buy a couple of disposables to finish the trip). Shortly after I returned, I got my current Panasonic Lumix and all is good again :) |
