It's amazing to me that after 100 years of using this technology it has remained virtually unchanged. Basically we produce electricit, whether at Niagra Falls or East River Generating Plant and a run an extension cord all the way to the switch in your house. You just have to flip the switch and viola! Power.
Shots 5 thru 8 were taken with my first venture into digital photograph. I think it is a less than 1 megapixel $29 special from Home Shopping Network.
