Thanks for taking time to read my wandering story. I guess my lesson
from the Brownie was that even a simple camera can work wonders if we
only do our part. Such a device teaches us to hold the camera still,
because the shutter speeds are limited. I recently shot a nighttime
image at 1/20 of a second, and it came out fine. The lesson still holds
true. :-)
