This is a rather neat photo that I snapped back in 1996 at Leo Carrillo State Park in Southern California. The technology of this photo is interesting. It was taken using a Canon camera on Konica print film. Early digital cameras were stunningly expensive and something most people only saw in photography magazines.
Konica had a feature where you could send your film in for developing and they would send back prints and a 3 1/2″ floppy disk on which they had put scans of the negatives. The scans were, by today’s standards, pretty low-grade.
The problem these days is that most people don’t have 3 1/2″ disk drives! However, in my collection of obsolete stuff (some would say “junk”) I actually have such a drive that came in a USB case. I guess it is a good thing I kept that thing.
