Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from it more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. (John Updike, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, 1989, Ch. 6)

Make New Friends But Keep the Old
Here's some of the photo equipment I've used since 1967, when I first started taking pictures with more or less serious intent. Two weeks ago, my lovely daughters dragged me kicking and screaming into the digital era by giving me a Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR. Having played around with this new toy for a while, I've given the Old Guard a dignified retirement. Like a military reserve unit, however, I'm keeping them in readiness for future operations.
