I used think having the peep hole in a camera ground to your prescription
would be a good idea, though now they have auto-focus which I don't have.
Even that is out of date now, I suppose. Then there's digital, but I haven't
done that yet either. I'm way behind the times, but I've gotten good
pictures with my AE-1 at different times. Usually my best pictures were
mostly good luck, but maybe not because it happened a lot. Someone said
knowing music was a help because you learn to get everything correct and you
have a sense of artistry too. Pictures on a computer are nice, but sometimes
it's nice to have a picture you can hold and show people.
