Last weekend I was descending from Mission Peak – in the eastern hills of the San Francisco Bay Area – when I passed a hiker who noticed my photography gear. I think the tripod on the back of the pack tends to give me away… ;-)
He asked, “Did you get any good pictures.” I answered, “I hope so.” To which he replied, “I assume you don’t use digital.”
Now I sort of wish I had pursued that thread. I wonder what he meant? Did he assume that “real photographers” (if that’s what I looked like to him) wouldn’t fall for that new fangled digital stuff? Was he a photographer himself?
He didn’t say much when I replied, “Yes, I do. I switched to digital and I can’t imagine going back.”
