When I was a kid you could identify every car by year and model. Now you'd have to be an automotive engineer just to get half of them correct. Is that progress? I don't know.


Perhaps that's because they all look alike.

By the time I was 23, My brother (age 2.5), my father (age 41) and my mother (age 49) had passed. My sister, 10 yr.'s my junior, was an orphan at age 15. I treasure my age and feel blessed that I'm still here every day. There is nothing negative about being old and alive. I'm 86.

Congratulations. I hope to make it to 86 myself and then keep moving on.

I'm 75 and use the ON-! editing system. I find it quite easy to use and very good. It works really well for my Canon R6 jpg and raw shots.

I used Canon AE-1 and Canon A1 back when I was a staffer on Newsday Newspaper in New York. Used Nikon and Leica back then also. But my all-time favorite Canon SLR were my F1. So tough, it just always worked even under the worst conditions, like while covering the War in Nicaragua in the jungles and rainforest mountains.

Still have one working copy. I use it when I teach my 35mm B&W film course at a state university. Still have a few Canon SLR FD lenses too, but never had that Sigma one. I have owned modern FE-mount Sigma, and E-mount Sigma lenses.

I tried, but couldn't find much on that lens.

Cheers and best to you.

Yes I still have my Canon F1 system and pulled it out a couple of months ago replaced the battery and she still worked. Quite a camera.

In the late 1980s I was selling Trade books to libraries. I stepped into a high school library to present the titles I was selling. I met with the principal, then with the head librarian. We talked a little before he offered me a tour of the library facility in the school. I knew there was something different with this library as compared to the other school libraries I went into. They had no hard cover books. All they had were magazine racks. I was informed that the school board decided to only buy magazines for the libraries. Their basis? The "kids" were only interested to finish their sophomore year in school. At which time most of the students reach their "age of maturity". They immediately drop out of school and go "out into the world" with the "blessing of their parents"! It was a high school in one of the Southern States.

Not surprised where this library is located. A complete embarrassment.

Teachers where I live in Ohio are paid well for the amount of hours they spend working. They work half a year basically with the holidays and breaks. So the 45 thousand they make a year is actually 90. Which where I live allows you to have a waterfront home in lakengren. Most teachers I know have gigs they do in their off time. Just like my firefighter buddies. They all have a small business they run because they only have to be in the fire station 2 days a week 24 hours a day.


Again I say nothing can exist without teachers. They pay out of their pocket for supplies that the schools cannot afford because education is so undervalued now. $45,000 is no longer a livable wage in today's world. How does one raise a family on this small amount. See if a DR would agree to such a wage. Then teachers are also required to go back to college and take education courses to stay in touch with the latest ideas. Such a course is at least $2,000 in a private college. $45,000 is insulting.

Teaching is the most important profession in the world. No other profession can exist without its being taught. And yet people constantly complain about teachers being paid too much. Someone had to teach bankers how to bank, doctors how to doctor, musicians how to perform, artist how to draw, and actors how to act. Nothing, nothing exists without its being taught. Pay the teachers a fair wage because all of society exists because of them.

She's very good. A real voice with excellent range. Not exactly a Sarah Vaughn but very good. We lost a great soprano this past week as Grace Bumbry died. One of the greatest opera stars of her era.
