Here’s a photo I took in 1984 with a Canon AE-1 , a marvel of modern technology, no auto focus, but there’s a little meter in the viewfinder, tweak the aperture and shutter until the needle centers and click, you have a good exposure…in theory. It really was a great and very popular camera, almost everyone had one.
I purchased an Epson V500 scanner and it works so well I’m tempted to shoot some film, but I’m sure the novelty would soon wear off… I wonder how much to develop a roll of film these days?
Seven Sacred Pools, Maui, framed as taken, no crop. Back then if you wanted to crop a photo, you printed it and got out the scissors. Twenty-six years ago I couldn’t even imagine the cameras and photo editing software we have today.
I went back to this spot in 2000 and there were hundreds of people and a parking area full of tour buses. What a difference, but still beautiful!
