A lot of pros feel nothing replaces film, not even fancy expensive digital SLR's. And I have a friend who teaches photography who insists the high cost of film and developing is actually a good thing, since it forces you to think about what you're doing before you do it. But as an impulsive (and lazy) photographer I confess I adore digital, including my fairly low end and now antiquated - 3 years old! - Nikon. At least for me, the freedom to shoot and shoot and shoot has been hugely liberating. What with the light changing constantly and pesky breezes coming out of nowhere, taking 20 pictures of exactly the same thing really improves the odds of getting something good. Delighted to hear you're enjoying the blog. Please keep visiting - and being part of the commenting community. Welcome, Christine

This is such a thing for me, I spend so much time photographing my garden that my neighbors think I am nuts and when I get the photos back (yeah, old school 35mm), I realize half the time I am. I try the AM/PM thing and have reasonable success, perhaps the being present and really looking (and closely grooming!) is yet another skill to master. I am getting better, and I know my garden is getting better as a result yet I am still drawn to answers and assistance. I love your blog so far, I just came across it the other day and am happily wandering thru as time permits. Thank you for sharing!!! Wow!
