Are you happy with your changes?  (It's not clear one way or the other.)  If you are happy with the results following your changes and it doesn't lessen the enjoyment you get while taking the ...

How could I have missed that one!

Another one: "If" by Bread.  ("If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?")

Okay, mine are very, very . . . very loosely connected with photography. "Borderline" by Madonna. I know it's not about photography, but every time I hear this song, I think of the white border on ...

You probably should have been born between about 1955 to 1975.  :-)

Man, that's really clean.

I've used both and prefer flip locks.  In the time it took me to extend the sections and tighten three twist locks on one tripod leg, I could extend three tripod legs and secure with flip locks.  ...

Great stuff here.  I especially like the shots with model Carol Martins.  She is beautiful, too.

I suspect some companies may struggle with making a good product so people keep buying it, but not making it so good that it takes many, many years before needing replacement.  I think there is a ...

Right.  Sadly, I am very aware of planned obsolescence with a lot of things I buy.

Right, that's bugging me to death.  That's the first thing I noticed, and I couldn't get beyond it.

One film I enjoyed using was 3M ASA640 tungsten slide film. You had to know your camera well enough to load and unload the film in total darkness. It was horribly grainy, but the results were a...

That reminds me of a station wagon my parents had.  The horn would work only if you turned the steering wheel one way or the other, but not straight ahead. But back to cameras.  There was a company ...

Anything rusty or crusty along the side of the road.  It annoys the living daylights out of my wife.

I do #4 and #11 all the time.  Regarding #11, it's always my leg that's in the picture.

I never mentioned energy efficiency and any relation to complexity to manufacture. Disagree.  Energy efficiency is often achieved by making components lighter weight or thinner.  These changes can ...

I didn't mention cost, but I do agree that many of the things we buy today, when factoring inflation, cost less than the products of 30 to 50 years ago. Good point.  The cost of labor often makes ...

Are your questions referring to photographic products or manufactured products, in general?  I'll cover both . . . I think most photographic equipment is made better than it was 30 to 50 years ago, ...

I suspect that, overall, activity on Flickr is probably down because most photographers in the last 14 to 15 months shot fewer pictures. That theory of mine is an "overall" statement. For me, ...
