Hi I am familiar with some of your difficulties. Had 4 strokes only memory affected until last one. Now have shaky hands and bad vision. Going to start taking pictures anyway. Never give up. :-D

johnnyg--THANKS! I have been reading and following many things here, and often I don't understand a word or thing, so I ask. NO ONE answers, so I am left without knowing. You explain very clear to understand. What a blessing. My camera is Olympus OM-10 from 1979! I know those numbers are on the side, but don't know how to use it so I always picture with the number 125. A few years ago I took a photography class at the community college where I lived. Exciting1 One woman had an awesome camera...1st 2 classes very nice. Then he started with all that professional (?) stuff and I had NO idea of anything. I sat and tried to keep my face to look somewhat intelligent and my interpreters caught on it! They were very cool, but I had NO clue. Later, i was talking with the disabilities office woman and she made us an appointment with head the photography! Told me to bring my work and qq. He was a really nice person. Looked at my work and said it was good. Then we talked about the technical kind of stuff. Finally he told me, well, You just can't take photography classes any more. But if you have any qq, come see me. Now I was very honored. Now I love this site, but I wish people could give me answer. I need to learn. Maybe they think it's a joke? Or maybe I am lucky because they would answer with that technical talk. Well, thanks again for such fine answering. Hope your weather is nice down there these days. Greet your daughter for me.

You got that right Uncle Henry! Does your memory mess up your words or your talking? Mine does and it really narks me! Did your strokes come from something like mine, or did they just arrive all on their own? I've had some of the TIA ones that just come all by their self! What kind is your camera? What kind pictures you plan to take? Where are you living? Winter weather difficulties? Good to hear from you Uncle!

I'm not sure why you think ASL does not help? It is our language. For some of us it is our only language. For some of us another language follows it--like English.But it is a beautiful, busy, wonderful language! I am in western Oregon, Canby, south of Portland. I am only here since 2 years and hope to leave from here 2012. Where in Oregon are you?Where is your daughter take the ASL classes? Is it of interest only or does she want to interpret? It's good to hear from you Birdie! What kind photography do you do or interest in it?

Buckeye. Great to read of your involvement. Remember, if only the birds with the most beautiful songs were the ones to sing, the forest would be a very quiet place and we would miss the chorus. Look forward to reading more from you. Go Buckeyes.

So, Rawlinson--Go Bucks?? You a buckeye too? What you said about the birds--I am always SO amazed when people talk about bird singing! I always think they are silent! I can understand general noises in town or city or freeway. I just can NOT comprehend noise in a forest! How amazing!!! Good to hear from you. What is your photography?

buckeye, i think that your history of determination is the key here...you will succeed with your photography. since groups can be frustrating for you, perhaps keeping a journal of your camera settings can show you what works and what doesn't. even though it's a trial and error method, it's one that is tried and true. good luck with your photography. if i find something amazing that works, i will post it for you. mary
What a good idea for camera settings! I just learned from one of us on this list what is camera settings. You know, trial and error I think mostly is the only way to go on stuff! Thanks for offering to post about amazing stuff for me. What a treet! I saw you on another list here but I don't remember which one. I'm pretty sure you are funny and that's the best way to be! What is your photography?

What a grand camera! Look like you still using him? Good! I have many old cameras and I am starting now to see what I have that I can use. My "working" camera is my 30+ yr. old Olympus OM-10.I might need to bring him to a camera doctor, I'm not sure yet. What is the name your "Retired"?

Sorry I am retired and/or retarded - Presently using using Fuji S9000 wanting Fuji HS20EXR, maybe after New Year. Yes the 645 is a great camera- wish I could afford a digital back for it.
