Mama? Kodachrome here. You can take me away now.
Between Kodak’s recent corporate banality upgrade and the best Christmas toy ever, I’m very close to letting go of my flexible substrate-based exposed emulsion habits once and for all. The reason? My (insert appropriately flattering adjective here) wife surprised me by stuffing a brand-spanking new Canon EOS 20D under the tree. Eight-plus megapixels worth of single lens reflex fun and full manual override hijinx. She most certainly snapped the “Holy mother of crap, you got me a what?” award out of my hands for this year’s present — easily besting the 12-inch iBook I managed to knock her over with last Christmas. Ok, I’ll admit that the 20D won’t convince me to turf my old hard-body Canon F1 or the parallax-prone Mamiya C330 twin lens or my Horseman L-series 4×5 view camera — but damn, it sure is nice to be shooting digital through the lens again.
