I bought a Chevrolet from a Ford dealer. It broke and I brought it to a Chevrolet repair shop. They told me they could not fix it because I bought it at a Ford dealer (NOT).
Tony Northrop just likes to hear himself talk. Very seldom does he present anything he does not twist with his own perspective on what he thinks it means. He rarely does any real good research on what ever he is talking about.
Grey market usually means International or not specifically marketed for your country or area. It most of the time means no warranty, so if it breaks you have to pay to have it fixed. It's pretty much still a Chevrolet. You can bring it to the Chevrolet dealer and have it fixed. You just have to pay for it.

Thank you. really nice to hear. hard to stay humble :) but will try.

Somebody knows but they just don't want to tell us :( thank you kindly.

just my thoughts on this. the longest lasting and records of life through the ages are drawing on cave walls. then there are drawings and paintings through the ages. camera obscura started our journey into photography. the printed photo's are a cornucopia of the history and life styles of family's, recreation, and environment. not many of the tools used to capture those images survive, only the hard final product of images. for most of us those images are personal but they feed into a tremendously large history of us. the capture tools and storage methods go away and change (how many vhs tapes sit idle and disintegrating with not much left to present the images they captured. cd's are pretty much gone, electromagnetic media is a moving an volatile target. It's amazing how those printed images on little pieces of glass, and paper have survived. prints... an interesting concept to consider. just sayin.

thanks for the response. technology marches on. I take it you were talking about your dad at Eastman Kodak. I started there in 67 right after I got out of the army. Were you in Rochester?

thanx.... the dark side... hmmm interesting.

I can do that. the lamp,,, yes. I retired from Kodak, 38 years (research technician).

me too thanx

I never really used or considered using my phone for any of my more serious photography. I must say have admired work presented on social media from phone photography. I have used my phone camera for quick shots to send to friends etc. I think I have had an epiphany, with my new S21. I am starting to explore the possibilities. Here is my first entry. I did add an effect with PS elements. However, the original image is what allowed me to accomplish this. I even got a great print.

thanx..... well we usually have them walking around in the front yard, they don't usually socialize with us. this one flew to the table next to me and started a conversation. then,, waited for me to go in the house and get my camera and patiently waited and posed till i was ready. have a great day :)

this inquisitive road runner surprise visit was truly enjoyable while we were having out morning coffee on the patio.
