The Evolution of a Photographer, Part II
My photographic journey started when I graduated high school. From the end of College until 2004, I toted the Canon AE-1 Program just about everywhere. I had a good run with that camera, but it eventually developed the "Canon Squeak" and I just didn't want to invest any money into getting it fixed when we were on the verge of a new medium.
In January of 2004, my wife bought me a Canon Powershot S400 to explore this digital medium. I wasn't ready to commit to an SLR at that point because I wasn't sure of the quality. But my little 4MP S400 did a decent job and I was ecstatic about the new ability to look at my photos immediately! The S400 was a "point and shoot" type camera, but gave me the ability to have 1000 shots in my pocket that are developed the second you snap the shutter.
