This is a good article on the evolution of digital cameras here. I have owned quite a few of these, some were, indeed, popular with schools. This Temple in Guangzhou from a trip in 2004 taken with my Ricoh Caplio RR1.

At the time, they were a must-have for some.

Unfortunately; I have to confirm this is all very true. #Fujifim #Photography
Collage: LH an aplogy from Fuji " Apparently, life behind the viewfinder of a Fujifilm has led to the following problems: Family and friends have started complaining that ‘just a quick waslk to the market’ now turns into a multi-hour, golden-hour photo session. Strangers on the street keep stopping to ask about ‘that beautiful vintage film camera,’ only to be confused when you mention it’s digital. ‘Weekend plans’ have been replaced by spontaneous photo walks. Some owners admit to just sitting on the sofa, holding their camera and clicking the tactile dials, even when it’s turned off, just to enjoy the feel. And a few have reported spending hours admiring their ‘Straight-Out-Of-Camera’, often forgetting to even open their editing software. RH a couple of pictures of my XT50 camera the day I bought it.

Going through some old pics from 2016, the waterworks in Prenzlauer Berg #Berlin. Taken with one of my favourite cameras, a Nikon P7770. I was very sad when it packed up - may see if it can be repaired? #Black&White #Photography

Going through some forgotten folders of pictures taken in 2011 with a Canon G11. I particularly liked this one #Photography #Landscape #Black&White
Black and White photo of the Nith Estuary at low tide, with Criffel covered in snow and mist. The picture is taken from inside a car and the view up river is reelected in the wing mirror.

What a shower of grifting opportunists. This will end well? Processed food adverts plastered all over dinner halls, to avoid Gov funding properly and avoiding responsibility.

Crooked Tree #SongsAsPictures #MollyTuttle #Black&White #Photography #Landscape
Three bent and bare trees and fence silhouetted against the sky on a ridge in Langstrothdale, Yorkshire. The image has a very limited tonal range, being nearly pure black and white with only a few subtle low-key tones.

"NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt"
In which case, all the EU nations should be making plans for the mass deportation of the million or so 'Expats' and assorted gammon living there. I'm sure Lam will welcome them with open arms.

'This could be anywhere' #Photography #Black&White #Fujifim #SilentSunday #SongsAsPictures
A rather soulless, modern generic middle class housing estate. It is out of focus. In the foreground, 5 straggly tall weeds are in clear focus.

And with that, we will bid you goodnight!
Old newspaper clipping. Probably from 50s-60s. Head and shoulders of two young ladies, possibly in night attire. One whispers to other; "If Husbands Only Knew"
