Also, brands I like: I keep mentioning Zebra dry plates. Currently the only (but hopefully not for long) company producing dry plates and also dry tintypes. they are expanding/innovating too, and just released a faux oratype, new tank, and are threatening to produce new autochromes. #PhotoChat

A5 This D7000 replaced a D70 which replaced D90 which replaced the aforementioned Rebel. Now you have my entire camera history. This strap should probably be replaced but it’s a keepsake from an old pro photographer friend. #photochat

A2 My first camera was a small 110 format I had as a kid. My dad had a Canon AE-1 that I lusted after, even as a middle-schooler, but I graduated to a Kodak 35mm point-and shoot. I was disappointed but I took a lot of memorable photos of family events and field trips with friends. Finally, I worked all summer in high school to buy a Canon EOS Rebel at a pawn shop. It served me well for a decade. #photochat

A1 Don’t do (single or group) portraits. I’m not good with people. I can’t direct them to get a good photo. I’m ok with it, mostly. #photochat
