The last column of the old Shea Stadium was collapsed by the wrecking crew yesterday, ending a 45-year run. Too young for a stadium to die, if you ask me, but those in power know otherwise. Its demise, however, brought back a few memories.

When I was growing up, my dad was a writer who authored a daily newspaper column about photography. He taught me a lot, including what cameras were good and why. One of the things he impressed on me was that the Mamiya camera company was one of the oldest and most respected names in medium format photography.

More after the break…

Victoria J.K. Lamburn, a young Brit shooter, admits to being “a self confessed geek” but, indeed, her outdoor interests belie that claim. She walks, she hikes, she climbs, and she reads Beat literature to boot! That is not geeky, Vicky. Neither is picking up an old Mamiya c330f and using — brace yourself, readers — film (hey, a lot of Mamiya cameras can shoot either film or digital)! All kidding aside, she makes some interesting points about MF format film vs. MF digital, especially in the pocketbook department. And her description of hiking the South Downs Way is both enchanting and instructional. Enjoy.
