Digital Photography

Home

Remember when photography used paper? Remember when computers did, too?
The very first digital Polaroid was not a huge success.

This week's challenge was "Paper"

Reminds me of the days when I used to wire boards for IBM keypunch operators, many decades ago.

I remember them. Well, thankfully, not actually using them for their intended purpose, but there were loads of them in the office for scribbling notes on when I started work....
