About Spotrick / Steve Thomas  

I am a sometime World traveler, saving up for more.

I have an enormous collection of slides taken over two decades of travel. Unfortunately still looking for a time-efficient way to digitise them (or else they'll have to wait until I retire.)

My current equipment is a Sony Alpha 100 (new), a 4mpx Sony Cybershot, and an iphone. I paid my dues lugging an equipment bag full of lenses around Europe in the 70's and 80's. Then switched to a Pentax compact and print film in the 90's.

The Sony is wonderful, and I'm really enjoying having an SLR again after so many years. Still learning the controls.

I've been very impressed with the Cybershot, but frustrated by its lack of control and low-light quality. I'm also fascinated by the potential of the cameraphone -- having it always there provides for many more photo opportunities. (Although it completely sucks for low light work, of course.)

I'm also fascinated by the potential for post-camera work with software. I use Paint Shop Pro.

I live with murfomurf and four cats.

Otherwise, a computer systems manager at a university library.
