In November of 2002, May & I got to take a trip to Prague, in the Czech republic.
(As opposed to, say, Prague Oklahoma or Prague Nebraska. Yes.)
The city had the worst floods since 1954 a couple of months earlier, and was still recovering when we got there -- the subway was shut down, and a lot of streets & sidewalks were getting repaved -- but it was still a lovely place, like something out of an old medieval knights & dragons storybook. (In fact, Hollywood saw it the same way -- the Jackie Chan / Luke Wilson movie "Shanghai Knights" was being filmed there at the time we visited.)
May brought her then new-ish Olympus D-340L digital camera (with a whopping 1.3 megapixels! from "off" to "able to take a picture" in 30 seconds flat! able to hold up to 60 pictures on a single 16mb SmartMedia card!), while I was still using my parent's two old Nikkormat (1970s consumer Nikons SLRs, similar to today's entry level D-series Nikons) SLRs from the early 1970s. The older one seems to have been a Nikkormat FTn, purely mechanical, purely manual exposure; the newer one looks like a Nikkormat EL, their first "electronic" camera body, meaning if you selected an aperture, it would attempt to pick a matching shutter speed to get a correct exposure. These were the cameras I learned on, and while they're getting old now, and I think at least one has a faulty light meter, and I can't ever see shooting film again, I still love these old camera bodies. Each of them was built like a tank, and heavy as one too.
When I got the film developed, I had the foresight to get a PictureCD produced with each roll from the Nikkormat, so while the scanned resolution isn't much by today's standards (roughly 1.5mp from the 35mm negative), that's fine -- I'm just glad to be able to import them in to iPhoto now, and put some of the better ones on Flickr.
Here's a sample, but the Flickr set has much more -- about 150 in total.
