The Time Machine

August 31st, 2009

After browsing around Flickr the other night looking at samples taken with my newest purchase (more on that later) I turned to my own photo archive and got an attack of nostalgia. For the time when I had nothing but a 3.2 megapixel Canon Powershot, high technology that it was back then, to upgrading to the Canon 20D and on and on and the cycle of upgrading never seems to end!

So at the risk of ignoring my sense of nostalgia and suffering an even larger attack down the line somewhere I’m going to do the honorable thing and give into it. From September the 1st to the 17th (ish), I’ll be plucking an image from each flickr set and allowing it to breath fresh air for a mere 24 hours before it’s sealed back into it’s photo archive grave forever*.

From memory, I’ve used a Sony Mavica 2mp, Canon Powershot S30, a Sony camcorder (digital stills on memory stick!), Canon 20D and the 30D is probably in there somewhere.. I keep meaning to get that mavica back to life, if I can find the battery charger and some floppy disks to use. In the days before compact flash there was… floppy disk! :)

Some people might call that lazy photoblogging and I’d be among those people.. Enjoy.
