It totally amazes me that I:
hand set metal and wooden type in college
hand lettered and inked logos
illustrated with airbrush, inks and watercolors
shot 16 mm movie films to 12x20 sheet film
edited movies with a razor blade
maintained a darkroom since 1962
emulsion stripped and retouched 8x10 Ektachromes
then drum scans of all films
working through 13 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator
from PageMaker to InDesign CS5
from Mac SE's to Mac Pro's
shot digital video - editing in FinalCut Pro
watched the typographers and film strippers lose their jobs
etc etc

all in one "short" life time.

The generation that came before me
Used more or less the same gear they started with
for their entire career.
