So last post was about hiking into Stebbin’s Gulch just around the time World War II was starting.  This time around the technology is a little close to the end of the 80’s – valley girls and mullets.    I shot the following pictures with a Canon AE-1.  This is the camera I first got into photography with.  Well, not this AE-1, that camera is long gone, but it’s the same model.   It’s another camera I like shooting, but I found my eye is lazy and I just don’t manual focus like a used to.  It amazes me that I used to shoot football and soccer with a manual focus camera.  I can barely shoot my kids standing still and nail the focus today if I have to rely on myself to do it.

This was the final shot in the last post. I’m standing in the exact same spot – just different camera, lens and film.

Next post will bring us back to the current age of digital SLRs and color photography! I promise!
