billrquimby Report post Posted July 6, 2010 yes, where was your camera?? And do you guys still have your game cam out by your cabin? Maybe you will be getting some wolf pics on that one. Amanda: If you read the introduction in my book you'll see that I spent nearly three decades having to produce two to four photos for the Citizen each week. That works out to a minimum of 2,800 published photos, but the actual number probably is closer to 4,500. As Doug will tell you, to get one photo worthy of publishing, you very often must take at least a roll of 36 shots, which means I took somewhere between 100,000 and 160,000 photos during my 27 years of employment by a daily newspaper. As a result, I absolutely hate everything about taking photos. My wife buys those disposable things for family snapshots, but I refuse to carry a camera. It's too much like work. In fact, I no longer own a camera. I gave my last two Nikon bodies and four Nikon lenses to a friend's daughter who was pursuing a journalism degree at the university in Hermosillo. I did buy a used trail camera at an excellent price from someone on this site and mounted it on a ponderosa overlooking the trail that elk use when they cross our land here in Greer. Dumb me, though. Before I loaded it with film, I pulled on something I wrongly assumed was a broken-off piece of old film that was stuck inside and broke the darned camera. I may buy another trail camera if I find one at a good price. But maybe not. The jury's still out. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
