First cam I ever bought was this monster 35mm Olympus I still have. Easy for me to use, I think it had a zoom 0f 38-105mm or somewhere near that. I didn't wanna buy $$$ separate lenses like the Canon on of my bros. has, plus he has a lot of $ in that cam alone. Yet he's used it so little, & took classes, but is so unfamiliar w/. it.

That 35mm Oylmpus cam I 1st bought is becoming obsolete as I prefer Kodak 35mm film as it's a U.S. co. Round here, I can find other brands, but I found Kodak 35mm film in Fl.

That cam still works great, but it's bulky & u can't delete like on a digital, it's just wasted shots. The digital cam my buddy gave me, is also an Olympus, so I have that familiarity w/. where all the buttons are. But now I gotta go online or whatever to get a 1 Gb memory stick?

What's sad is on way to the Keys, if only I'd gone 20 min. in opposite direction, I coulda went to a place that had 1Gb stick. My sis was already a lil . Why didn't u do that before we left, instead of a Best Buy trip down here, so I didn't push it, + I had limited time.

2 Outdated cams?

Nice pics, Mt. Mck is nice cause it contains so few clouds.

Who know what brand cam I'll get. I normally want the best, or near it. And somethin I can get sticks for.

I'd love a photography section, seems I really spend more time on the cam than I do the truck lately.

And I thought u still cared about us on PT.

I do find myself lookin at people's pics, esp. vaca pics. But I hate searchin all over Truck Stop cause that is a rather diverse section. Maybe break into 2 parts: a general pics section, just vacations & other random bits.

And put a sep. section for truck pics, but both under a photog forum. Maybe?

Many good ideas, just gotta work on getting a section for it all first if possible.

The "SHOW & SHINE" section is where the truck pics belong but a "HOBBY section that includes "weaponry" "Hunting/Fishing" and other things like "Photography" would be fun but how much will the site dedicate to "off-topic" sections?

Bill, the goal of the site is traffic right? If people stay on here for that then they are not going somewhere else. I would rather stay on here for that stuff, I know everyone here.

You know what I mean. Maybe I can find a pic of a jackass?

I went to your homepage to find a pic of you, & wow, not what I expected. Nice Bill.
