After eight years shooting with an Olympus C-750UZ (which is essentially a high-end point-and-shoot) I have taken the plunge and ordered a new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mirrorless SLR!

Needless to say, I'm pretty excited.

I inherited an OM-2 from my father with a reasonable complement of lenses. I have given the OM-2 to my son, but intend to share the lenses with him, as the OM-D has an adapter (which I also ordered) which should allow me to use the OM-2 lenses (with the usual caveats as a result of the different sensor/film size).

This is a photo of me, probably shot around 1980 by my brother - which would explain the home darkroom print. Anyway, the truck, which was named "The Mighty Quinn" because it was great and white, is a 1954 Chevrolet with a Grumman aluminum body. I had it for 17 years, and sold it in 1991.

Hi,
My two sons are huge train photography fans too. Could you vote on a Union Pacific Commercial Remake? It only takes a moment of your time and would really be helpful. He is using some of his favorite photographs that work for the commercial. Here is the website to vote: [link]
Thank you so much!
