A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

When I was in highschool I took photography classes. I worked on the school's Annual as their sports photographer. We probably spent most of our time in the darkroom learning how to develop and enlarge our photographs (that is, when there was no hanky-pank). I enjoyed portrait photography as well. It gave me the oppertunity to ask all the pretty girls if they would like a free portrait of themselves. In those days they were black and white. I handpainted them. I think to this day that handpainted portraits are far more beautiful then color portraits.
Today, I am not a professional photographer, infact, I'm probably not even a serious amateuar. I use my cameras simply as tools to photograph my artwork for the printer, and for that I feel that I need the best I can afford.
My son-in-law calls himself a professional photographer and I bet he doesn't know one thing about developing his work, working with an enlarger or even being in a darkroom.
