We learned a hell of a lot more stuff too. I honestly had no fucking clue what I was doing most of the time.  | |

The last one was a great shot to end the series too! I like it.

Yes, Lev and I both had Sony 717's. Dottie had some kinda Fuji, and you were the first to get a rebel I believe. I didn't get my 10D until 2004.
I picked up a 5D Mk2 on a sweet deal last month and when I sold my 5D i looked at my original receipt. I don't think i can ever spend this much anymore on a body.
That's like one semester of my daughter's future tuition fund.

Still, for what you get now, 4k back in the day got you a shit camera by today's standards.

I wonder what some of the people who are no longer contributing are doing....people like Dottie, Jomo, Doc/Salar, Gopher, Dennis (Azn_angel), Roley Chu to name a few...
Roley I sometimes see, as he is a client at Beau, but I haven't seen the others for years.

Salar still post some on fb sometimes.
Dennis is living and breathing photography and design which is awesome.

Roley I sometimes see, as he is a client at Beau, but I haven't seen the others for years. | Dot is MIA, Salar has been studying in Iran I think doing some sort of medical degree. Dennis is doing design work in Hong Kong. Domani had kids, and I moved to London.
