Started off with Practika, moved on to Minolta, then when digital came along onto Canon. Now using Fuji XT-2 with several lenses, better glass than Canon, but at the end of the day, like cars there are no bad ones, just some suit you more than others. Back to the original point though, 2 million photos? Wouldn't 1 million be enough?

 

[telectrix]

2million. i done a few funerals and never take more than about 80. here's one:

What standards are they as my Mum was in the RAF Father MN and which cemetery?

 

[telectrix]

TBH i don't know, except the one on the right is Polish. the others are from British Legion. the deceased was Polish and fought with Allied forces in WW2.

cemetery was in Chorley,Lancs.

Thought it was Polish with the Red/White an Eagle, interesting as my mates grandfather is buried in St Neots cemetery and fought at Monte Casino as part of Anders Corps.

I'm not sure the Olympus Trip was around when Bailey started out.
He was paid to advertise it, I doubt he ever used one for his professional work, or even used it at all other than when paid by Olympus.[/QUOTE]
What I meant

Is it a profession under threat ?
City centre store - vs - Internet
Photographer -vs- Everyone elses camera-phone

I was replying to static's post
I was meaning that the advertising campaign made people aware that photography was becoming simpler because of the simplicity of the Trip.
I noticed loads of them at weddings and also noticed that all the poses where being taken by people with 'the new snap and shoot cameras' it had a dramatic effect of the re orders for family prints , as their 'snaps ' where cheaper to process, and were decent quality.
I was not suggesting that David Bailey used an Olympus Trip for his professional work.

David Bailey a true legend behind the lens, what a time he, Donovan and Duffy must have had in the sixties.

I have a really good piece of evidence,that we are,what we are...

Me dad,on holiday,Anglesey,sometime early 70's,mum's bored with the constant camera carry-on,so he swaps to 8mm cine

We are at RAF Valley,and the Red Arrows have a jet on display,with a pilot allowing the kids,one at a time,to sit in the cockpit...i am one of the queuing kids,and the tall,moustached pilot,finally beckons me forward...i set off at speed,bypass him,and dive,head first,inside the jet vent - with just my feet sticking out

Proof,if ever there was,that the pair of us,would just keep on,keeping on,what we did best
