I bought my first digital camera in 1998.
Written by Aaron Paulley on January 15th, 2009
If my memory serves me well, I believe I have not taken a photo on film since 1998. I have been taking photos digitally since my first Sony Mavica camera. This is an interested fact to me because it shows how behind-the-times our government is. President-Elect Barack Obama’s team revealed the official presidential portrait that will be hanging in all Federal buildings across the country, as well as in embassies around the world and who knows where else. Not only is the portrait historic in that it is a picture of the first African American president, but it also marks the first time that a presidential portrait has been taken with a digital camera.
So I guess its official. I’m ten years ahead of our government.
