Memory Lane On The "A" Train

Taking a modern day retro ride with this Atari console
repackaged for today's world.

Note On The OM-D: As a guy who hates gimmicks on his cameras,
I had some hesitation about the touch shutter on the OM-D, yet at
the same time, I felt this could completely change the way I took
photos. This was one of the main reasons I took a chance with
the OM-D. Guess what? It completely won me over!

In this shot, the hand was moving in split second intervals.
All I did was tap the screen on the Atari logo, and (BAM!),
got the shot! This will be great for street work.

Note On The Atari: While I have fond memories of the Atari 2600 system,
I had forgotten just how horrible the graphics were! But I say this with
the advantage of hindsight; Today, with all the amazing games and graphics we have,
you could say the Atari "sucked" but you see, when the Atari 2600 first came out,
there was nothing like it and we had nothing to compare it to. It was revolutionary,
and so it had to be awesome.

Spot on shot, that touch shutter is fantastic! Harkens back to the primative days of computing, but our eyes and mouths were wide open then! Great commentary. V
