Hello from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Boy, am I glad to find this site -- at least now I know there are many people as stubborn as I am (or so my friends thought). I really thought I was a dinosaur when I decided to press on with film -- most people I know have turned to the dark side of photography. I considered changing as well, but somehow I can't seem to leave the light table behind -- I am too spoiled by the vibrant colors on my slides. Furthermore, a $2000 pro-sumer level digital body can do, err... umm..., exactly what I can now. However, in order to interface with the rest of the corrupted world, I think a CoolScan probably is required in the near future.
Anyway, I started to get somewhat more serious about photography in 2001 when I bought my Nikon F70. I decided to go with slides because I read it is harder to do right (yeah yeah, I know, I just had to do it the hard way). With some beginner's luck, I ended up with some okay pictures on my walls. Before that, I was using an OM-10 with print films for snapshots.
