Key West 2012 - P H O T O S

No kidding- I actually think about it often- technology has made some cosmic changes in my life over the last 20 years.

Back in the day I always resisted the urge to buy a motor winder for the camera because I knew it would be an easy way to burn up a LOT of film. :anonymous: At the time I had an ad agency and shot strictly ektachrome slides because they gave the best color reproduction when printing. Can't tell you how many thousands I spent on processing and 4-color separations- still have boxes of slides somewhere.

I have always been a huge fan of photo-illustration (big surprise, huh?) and I used to dream about what was then called a 'graphics workstation'... 150K for a computer system with less processing power than today's average smartphone. I could fantasize and visualize a finished piece, but in those days you needed a color darkroom and lots of time to do any kind of special effects and that equipment wasn't cheap. Glad I didn't make that leap back in 1977.
