I agree even not knowing the subject I am left with the impression that she was in a a reflective mood.

Still use the one I purchased in 2007 Canon Powershot A720 with IS. 8 megapixel, 6X optical Zoom uses 16Gig SDHD card AF or manual. (Is powered by 2 AA Batteries!!) Also has a great video mode that comes in handy at events and family gatherings. At that time I had 2 Canon SLR's and a 4x5 Graflex. Have produced some great prints up to 8x10. Used the Powershot for point and shoot and also to check landscape compositions for the film cameras. Now I have no film cameras, switched to 2 DSLRS in 2014. But still use the Powershot for lots of point and shoot yet. Do use my smart phone some but at home the Powershot is still pretty handy.

Clouds and moon shot resonated with me. Reminded my of the second line of one of my favorite poems, The Highwayman, by Alfred Noyes:

"The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy seas"

The responses that resonated most with me is the use of a collapsible rubber hood. My DSLRS are Canons with Canon Lenses so the mount is a screw mount. The collabsible hoods I use are 3 position from full extended to half extended to full retracted. This has always worked well for me.

It's the way our up and coming generation thinks - more expensive gear means they'll take better pictures, right?
Can't actually play the guitar? No problem, this video game can let you pretend to play.
Can't really play baseball? No sweat, this other video game lets you pretend to play.
Can't really take a decent photo ? Technology to the rescue - big bucks for gear and PP will cure that, right??

NOT !! All photographers should be required to start with a 4x5 full-movement view camera, and learn the damned basics.

And speaking of Browns, I'm waiting for our own Ed Brown (Old Hippy) to do some instructionals.........

Just had to reply when I read this comment. In my experience you are absolutely right!! When I was 11 the first camera I owned was a hand me down 4 X 5 Speed Graphic from my Dad (still have it). And though at the time I may not have fully appreciated it, all my friends had Kodak Brownies don't you know, my dad had the patience to teach me all the ropes. That, with the help of a mid 1940s vintage GE light meter resulted in a life long passion. I did not appreciate until I had my first Canon SLR how much I had learned and how that helps me even today take advantage of the non-auto features of my DLSR's
