Dale, took me less than a day to realize I
needed a tripod for the hold it steady part.
Leastaways I can still click the button.
The wish I had done it sooner certainly applies.

Here a few from the 'doubles' album

John,
Once you make that change you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner!
For $100-$150 (probably for a lot less) you can buy a camera that all you have to do is hold it steady and click the button.
Then you just download the pics and print the ones you like.
Plus you can crop, expand the image, shrink the image, take out red-eye, make the focus better and all that stuff with the most basic photo software, usually included with the camera.

It is so simple I can do it & I knew next to nothing about photography when I started, (I still don't know much about it now), but I can take the pictures without paying for film, developing, cropping or anything else!

Digital photography is a quantum leap or two ahead of film.

The best part is the learning process is painless. You can practice all day long and into next week and after you buy the camera, it doesn't cost you a dime.

No trips to the drug store or Walmart to buy more film because you just ran out and you really want to get this event recorded in pictures. No schlepping the film off to get it developed and wondering if your pictures came out. Set the darned thing on automatic and click away. Did I get a good picture? Let me check. No? Well just take it over again. Did you cut the head off Cousin Mavis? Take it over. Did you miss your great-nephew completely. Somebody round him up, hold him still and let's take it again. Did you sneeze just as you pushed the button? Erase that and take it over.

I doubt you're stoopid (sic) Tommy but I'm not so sure about stubborn.
