In 1995, I had the opportunity to travel to Sydney, Australia to work on a project. I always say it was the best project I ever worked on . . . not because the project was great, but because I got to go to Australia. I have stacks of old photos, which were taken with my old Pentax 110 camera. The format on them is smaller than the 35mm, which you might notice from looking at the scanned results. Also, the light in Sydney was so strong that I think a lot of them turned out very washed out looking.

I guess I am waxing a bit nostalgic over this holiday week. I started to look for photos of Turkey to start scanning them. Then I started to flip through the Australia photos. When I have time (haha), I'll be doing something interesting with those photos . . . because even with the 110 format, I've got some very nice photos: beautiful beaches, Tasmania, Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, Cairns . . . and many places around Sydney where I went walkabout.

After Australia, I got a new camera . . . the Advantage film camera, which I took a lot of great photos with. It did go to Turkey with me in 1999. But this year I graduated to the digital camera, so I'm very dangerous now . . . so many photos to shoot!
