I’ve been taking photographs since I received my first camera at age 9 or 10. During a college course on photojournalism, I learned about exposures, ASA film “speed,” lighting, photo composition and how to develop and print black-and-white film.
Today I use an inexpensive Kodak digital camera that I won at a company charity golf outing. One beautiful advantage to digital photography is that I can quickly and easily delete any photographs that I don’t want to keep. On the downside, I struggle with proper lighting, because I rely on the small (and often insufficient) flash that is built into the camera.
But above-average subjects can trump average photographers, as these photos show. All were taken by me with the Kodak, during a recent family vacation to Maui, Hawaii.

I watched a television show on either consumer electronics, photography, or a combination of the two. Anyway, what was said is the digital camera has to evolve to be better than what it currently is. It uses light and a lense still and it shouldn’t. A human eye uses light to see what it does, a camera, including digital, still uses light and it doesn’t need to since it isn’t a human eye, and doesn’t use film.
I can’t wait for somoene to build a better mouse trap. The next camera once someone thinks outside the box will be outstanding.
