Thanks! That shot was taken while I was going to school at Cal Poly in California and it was a senior project of some architecture students several years back. There are lots of great sculptures and structures in that area from past projects.

I've got to find my old Casio QV-10 images! But what I have online is:

Canon G1, circa 1999-2002. (3.1 megapixels)

I remember that this particular trip to San Francisco inspired me to take photography into a different direction and consider doing it for a living.

Then it was a quick transition to the 30D, 60D, and then the 10D. I still have a few 10D shots up on my site. Miss that camera. Something happened and I started making dough with 10D images and I ponied up for a 1Ds around the age of 24. After that it was the 1Ds Mark II, Mark II, and then the 5D Mark II as well.

Strangely I remember images that made me fall in love with lenses more than the cameras over the years, but an early one that I remember saying "Whoa!" to was the 10D + Sigma 15mm fisheye combo:

That 10D was a workhorse for me though. Primarily with the 28 f/1.8, 50 f/1.4, and 100 f/2 lenses.

After that and when I moved up to the pro series bodies I had to get the damn good glass and that's the vampire that drained the wallet over the years.

Kodak DC290, November 1999. 2.1MP, 3x zoom and $1099! Student loan money...

My skill was only worth about $.50.

Canon S10... Used this from 2000-2002

DR was horrible and SOOC color was occasionally atrocious. Any pictures of people looked horrible. Build quality was great and the interface wasn't bad.

Today, a cheap SD1200 is FAR faster, smaller, and more useful. I think there's much more room for improvement with compacts, and the S90 is a step in the right direction.

Here's some anywhere from 2003 - 2005 on my beloved Canon A70. That was such a great camera!

Mind you, all of the post processing on these was done then also...so, yeah.

Very nice...

Fun thread, and I continue to be impressed at a) how good some of you guys are and b) how Canon point-and-shoots perform.

Thanks! I was very happy in my early days of photography (digital anyway) with that Canon A70. Small, light and simple to use, it was great. Sometimes I wish for those days again when I didn't care about gear and only cared about making photos

Haha, i cared about gear already in 1999, as you can see from my pic spec, but my head are were always focused on picture taking (still is), not equipment so much, even though i love a good camera...

Those were posted Feb 2000, when the majority were still using 28kbps dial-up, hence the conservative size.
