After 50 years of thinking [in terms of] traditional film, I am now joining the digitized world, and it ain’t easy. I have yet to get beyond the auto setting on my newly acquired Nikon Coolpix 5000. Your article in the Fall 2003 edition of PhotoMedia, [“The Revolution Will Be Digitized (Like It or Not . . . )”] spurs me onward.

I should add that this issue is my introduction to PhotoMedia. I especially was taken with the photos and stories about the seldom-recognized heroes of the Iraq and Afghan conflict. This issue will be on my coffee table for some time to come.
