My favorite manual camera. Canon AE-1 Program. Notice I have a "Spock" ear. My other ear is ok though

That's some awesome stuff, Kumdo. Seriously, do you this professionally? Portraits like that would make a killing here in Soho.

AluminumOvercas,
I have a Canon AE-1 that had belonged to my father some time ago and would like to bring it up to speed.... are parts (lenses & accessories) still available for this model? The camera itself is in beautiful condition and at very best might need cleaned.

Hi Shelby,
That is quite a self portrait - shows the seriousness of the artist. Black and white is the true test for the photographer. Just want to say thanks for all those great shots of the Striders, and please keep on with all your posts. You do justice to the artistry of Mick and Duane. Looking at your work makes me want to get out the old Pentax Spotmatic. Nice timepiece to go with the camera!

KillerKain,
The answer is: "Hell Yes!" There are parts available for it everywhere. You can still find stuff on-line or at a reputable camera/photo store.

Cruiser,
I thank you, sir! I will keep the photos rolling
You are right about old camera's. They somehow have a nostalgic quality to it that is lost in newer cameras. To be honest, when I go out to say, Bali, like I did last year, I shot with my AE-1 exclusively but only shot with the digital when I ran out of film. (14 rolls.) Spotmatics are classics. Camera's like that never die. Again I thank you for the kind words. I always believe I am still learning and with comments like yours and many others on this forum, it allows me to persue that road boldly.
Regards,
Shelby

Just wanted to share some photos that mean a lot to me. These were all taken in Bali, Indonesia. Notice the difference in the manual camera, how it is more "grainy" and soft. Comparing 35mm photos to digital is like comparing a hand sketched drawing to a computer rendering. Both are nice but the hand sketch has a natural feel to it.
btw: Take a look at photo #3 with the blue food cart. My friends told me never to order food from them carts as locals are the only ones who could tolerate any "dirty" food. That's a two day, all expenses paid trip to the bathroom waiting to happen.

Hi Shelby,
Finally got a chance to review the Bali shots. I really enjoyed the contrasts: light and dark; the blue cart scene with the pinks, reds, greens; the everyday scenes vs. the picture perfect postcard scenes; and, the surf picture remindeds me of the ones I took in Laguna circa 1970. Fortunately, the camera is able to capture what the artist sees in the mind. Record on! You have that ability to record the moment for future reference. Thank you for sharing.
