The top photo was taken in 1995, the second one in 2001, and the last four in 2004. The top two were taken with a point-and-shoot Minolta 35mm. The bottom four were test shots taken when I got my Canon T-50 (I don’t remember the lens specs, and my mom has custody of my Canon right now so I can’t check, but I think it was a Tamron). When I was shopping for a film SLR, I wanted an older, used, all manual body. I read all sorts of bad reviews of the Canon T-50, but folks I knew and could talk to in person said it was a decent entry level camera body. And, they can be picked up dirt cheap from places like KEH and B&H, so I felt like it was worth the risk. It turns out, though, that the Canon T-50 takes by far the best pictures of any of the cameras I own. I love the way it handles light and shadow (I couldn’t have taken this photo of Harriet with my digital). I’m lazy, though, and I suck at getting film developed, so I loaned the Canon to my mom when I got a digital camera.
