Hi, Wayne. Grumman is still around, in another form. My eldest son
retired from Northrup-Grumman a few years back. He was based in
Huntsville, AL, and was heavily involved with computer hardware and
software. It's nice to have a computer specialist close at hand.
I've got more capable cameras, but I still like to pick up my used E-1
from time to time because of it's simplicity and it's unique sensor.

Nice past blast.
It prompted me to look back at 2006, photographically. That was the year I
upgraded from a Canon Digital Rebel to a 5D and upgraded pocket/casual camera
from Fuji F10 to F30.
I was struck more by how software has improved since then than how much cameras
have improved. Many photos that I processed then could be significantly
improved by reprocessing today.
Agree, nice image from the past. My dad and granddad had bib overalls just like
that. I could easily see my dad standing there, with a pocket protector in the
shirt pocket. My dad's first job out of college was with Grumman in St Louis
around wwii.
I upgraded from E-1 to a 5D around 2005 and was quite active with it in 2006.
However, I have a hard time wanting to look back at the older photos. I just
took a peak at 2006. There is a lot of unprocessed creative stuff there, but I
don't have the desire in resurrecting them, or going through those memories
much these days.
The 5D was freeing at the time. I didn't like the struggle I had with the E-1.
Somewhere along the way my vision got stale. Perfectionism crept in. Two lenses
stand out from that time that I used a lot, a Canon 70-200/2.8 and a 180mm
macro. I have the 180 now, but it is overshadowed by CV 110 and other lenses.
Cameras and lenses have greatly improved, but this photog, perhaps not so much.
