That would have been a 1Ds Mark III, for that price. I don't even dream about owning one of those. If I were making some $7k per shoot, then I'd have one. But as it is, in 5 years I've probably just paid for my gear. Lucky it's not my day job.

Not only would I want a new camera then you post stuff like Phase One and then I start thinking I need a new Mac. Then again, I always think I need a new Mac.

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial/book on how to take good digital pix? Assume I don't know about f stop, exposure, etc. I've read about it before but never bothered to really learn about it.
Who knows, I may have to go back to my parents' house and dig out the old family Canon AE-1 and even try film for the heck of it.

If you're thinking you want to get serious, get a dSLR. You really need the full control an SLR offers. Sure you can do it with film, but you're going to want to play around a lot. Playing with film gets expensive, and the feedback loop is too slow to actually experiment.
Otherwise, Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera is the book.

No, not trying to go that far. I'd just like to do better w/ the simple gear I have now, as in my simple Canon SD.
Thanks, I'll check out my library for that one now.

Very nice pics Chris. I would love to get back into photography. Decent DSLR's are reaching affordable prices now.
