Digital cameras are one of the greatest inventions in recent memory. Remember all those times you had to PAY for film? To give you an idea of the impact of digital's influence, Kodachrome film is no longer being produced.
Posted above are two of the favorite photos that I have snapped. Both are from a National Parks bus tours Vivian and I took in August, 2007. The grazing elk were captured during a stop in Yellowstone National Park. They were kind of hanging out, doing what elk do. The other picture was taken from the bus while rolling through farm country somewhere in Wyoming.
Maybe someday digital photography will be immortalized in song, but it will never top the following:
KODACHROME
Lyrics by Paul Simon
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
(Leave your boy so far from home)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
