Then came the digital revolution with the availability of digital cameras and computer programs for working with photographs. I still have my old cameras, they gather dust in boxes in the attic. Treasures to be sure, but dinosaurs in size and flexibility. True, there are still some images that might be easier or better that could require a film camera. For me, this is merely a challenge to do it with digital. Tin types were great, going back to them is not for me.

This brings me to making some of my images available online in addition to emailing them to relatives and friends. The online images have been downsized for faster loading times. I do keep the original files on CDs, for printing quality purposes.

There are a number of pages of my early photography, on this, my IRISH RIDGE website, but I am adding a new section that will be devoted to my, "after seven decades" photography. This section is intended for pleasure and/or interest of photographs. It is not intended to be a "how to" dialog, there are a number of good websites that are devoted to that purpose.
