Finally a New Camera

Back in January my digital SLR was stolen. It was a big loss to me because I have been a photographer since I was 10 years old. I used a Brownie and then my father let me use his Kodak Signet 80 35 mm rangefinder. Eventually I bought a GAF 35 mm slr and progressed through  a Nikon F, a Canon rangefinder, an Olympus OM 1 and  OM 10.  I had a Mimaya 645 that I had to sell when I lost my job due to merger almost 20 years ago, but that is a story for another time and place. Back to my story...about three years ago Dre' bought me a Nikon D80 and I loved it. I have taken thousands of photos with it and it was my main camera. The one I used almost exclusively for this blog. Obviously I miss having that camera. I have been shopping for months for a new one a little over a week ago I purchased one.  I bought a Nikon D 5000'and will ave it my hands tomorrow.  

It will be arriving just in time for me to resume sharing photos of country life in late summer and early autumn. I am anticipating its arrival baited breath.

Until next time...John
