The cheap Kodak has been returned to it's rightful place at Wal-mart, and now we are heading on a journey of saving and learning. We've decided to go back to camera basics. Film, no flash, cool clicking sound and all. It's an adventure worthwhile to earn a nice little DSLR, I hope.
I took a black and white photography class back in the early college days before married life and kids, and I still have the trusty Canon AE-1 (straight from the 70's). With nothing but a grey card and a 50 mm lense we are going try to see if we can live without the instant gratification of the digital age. And, we will finally start developing pictures of our kids out necessity. It has been a couple years since we've developed any home snapshots!
Sounds like a fun challenge! How long do you think we'll last before we just break down and buy another cheap camera?

Lia has my old canon slr just sitting around. it is from 2000 and I'm sure she'd share....
Hey Lia, that sounds good. My camera is completely manual, and it would be nice to be able to be a little lazy sometimes. Albeit, there is great potential for creativity.
ok beth you are a picture holic!! I think you will last maybe 2 months before you go crazy and have to have a new camera... Just dont go to cheep. then it will be worth it.
while I know you'll enjoy using the AE-1- the waiting for pictures to be developed and the expense of all the trail-and- error of seeing if your shots turned out may make you a little nuts. I don't have that kind of paitence.
