Describe a Favorite Photo Shot With That First Camera

It is a sunset I took here in Payson at our local park. I live in West Payson so I get to see beautiful sunsets.

My First Digital Camera's Brand, Model, and Specs

It is a Sony Mavica that records on floppy disks.

Why, How, and When I Switched From Film to Digital

I still use a 35MM Minolta along with my digital cameras. I got my first digital about 10 years ago.

I have a collection of cameras my brother left me when he passed away. 14 cameras, they are all Minoltas. I don't use them, they are in a display case. He was an actor on the TV sitcom "Home Improvement" (Wilson, behind the fence) but he was also a talented photographer. You can see the photos he took if you go to my website

Lessons Learned

  • Not really an error in selecting camera, I thought it was amazing, but my new computer doesn't have a slot for floppy discs.
