1st - Sounds

Cheltenham, Glos.

LPs and singles played on the old Dansette, 8-track players and cassettes on huge great 'portable' tape players, CDs and now MP3s...

I haven't mentioned wax cylinders - I missed them by a few years LOL!!

Very clever shot. Yep I've gone from reel tapes, vinyl, cassettes, CD's, mini discs..and now with a several gigabyte micro SDHC card you can put an average persons audio collection on something the size of a little finger's, finger nail. (Still thinking analog has a richer sound...but digital sure is handy)I like how you've summed it up here. Best regards.

Just threw a load of cassettes out the other week as I have nothing to play them on !

Excellent thinking and presentation/

Excellent idea for this challenge..nice light and shadows.

I still use my 'sony walkman' with tapes. much to my kid's embarrassment. I still think the sound is far superior. The kids at school shout 'Miss' you listening to your MP3 then I produce the brick sized walkman from my bag. Let's just say it's created a few laughs, well 'sniggers' ... Who cares!!!

I can remember thinking how advanced and permanent CDs would be... audiophile vinyl... DAT... MP3... ;-)

Fabulous comparison!
Maaike Huizer02-Mar-2010 09:34
Never would have thought of that one. What a great idea. Well done.
And .. nice to have you back in the monthly challenge.

Amazing find and indeed an old versus new technology of the same subject!
Guest 02-Mar-2010 03:01
Excellent Doug!! Wonderfully composed and with a very nice light! Great idea!! V
Cindi Smith01-Mar-2010 22:43
Excellent idea! I love this! I don't have either one, though. Still in the dark ages here and use a turntable too for music!;)
carol j. phipps01-Mar-2010 22:42
Right on with the new and old technology! I still have lots of cassettes.
Stephanie01-Mar-2010 22:24
Ain't technology grand????
Terrific first of the month shot Doug! :-)

Nice idea for old and new. Excellent, sharp photograph! V
Bernard Davis01-Mar-2010 21:11
Old and new media, hope the music is suitably 'old' as well.
Kevin Chester01-Mar-2010 20:26
LOL where did you find that .
Marielou Dhumez01-Mar-2010 20:23
There is not so many years between both of these materials but in fact , centuries of technology !
Frank Brault01-Mar-2010 19:55
An excellent juxtaposition. Well composed with gorgeous light and shadow. V
