Blowing in the wind?

[paulatukcamera]

"How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the film cameras fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."

With apologies to Bob ......................... *


Two straws.

Sunday:

Janet, my friend's wife off to Italy, on a jaunt (sorry work!)
"Should I take my camera as the last film got jammed?"
Husband (to me me quietly)
"Not really, but I'm not keen on her borrowing my Werra or Minolta XD7" (You can see who has been giving him camera purchasing advice!)

"Hey Janet - you can take my Panasonic FZ20, as its only for the week"

"Thank you, but no thanks. I want a film that I can take to the chemists when I come back, rather than do what you and my daughter do - put hundreds of pictures on the computer and never print them"

So on her way with my latest toy, the Vivitar 35ES (Konica S3 clone)

Today.

My wife "I want to give my mother a picture of Mark (our Grandson) for her 93rd birthday."

"OK, I'll do it this weekend."

"Not on that digital thing - Use your Nikon! I want a nice photograph, like you used to take of our children. "

Now then, its not just us "old fogeys" then living in the past?

I'm look seriously at a digital slr right now and my mate's main objection is "the picture will be on the computer and I'll never see them."

'Cause the times they are a'changin'

Sorry team, just couldn't resist!

John, knowing how warmly you Blokes regard the French, I'll add one of their sayings: "The more things change, the more they remain the same."

Now that you have Brought the French into it, An ad seen recently in a gun magazine,
"French rifles for sale never fired dropped once".

What can I say? Except, perhaps:

. . . There's always bin a photographer
To record the 'appy scene.....

'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
What a picture, what a photograph
Poor old soul, blimey, what a joke
'At blown off in a cloud of smoke
Clap 'ands, stamp yer feet
Bangin' on the big bass drum
(BOOM!)
What a picture, what a picture
Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
Stick it in yer fam'ly album

Stick it in yer fam'ly
Stick it in yer fam'ly
Stick it in yer fam'ly
(Boom!)
ALBUM!

As sung by Thomas Hicks, dear old Tommy Steele.
