There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love,
but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

A New Toy ~ Nikon D-40

Don't hate me just yet. I have a new toy. I decided two years ago at tax time that I would treat myself to a more professional type camera as soon as I could afford one. I love taking pictures. Always have. Now? I can use it as another canvas for my eye. To capture the way I see things.

I am so proud of myself to finally be accomplishing some of the things I have always wanted to do.

Keep your eye on my Old Blog, as I have turned it into a photo blog. Any other shooters, please leave a message there. I want to set up links to photographers there.

OK. I have to work! Happy weeks to all.

  3. Well, I originally went to buy the canon because of the price. The man put this camera in my hand, and I just said, okay. It feels great in my hand. You can't really take a bad picture with this camera. The only issue I am going to have is the cost of different lenses. And that is something you should investigate. Someone suggested using sigma lenses that were half the price of nikon, but not sure they are compatible.

    thanks becca. yea. I am going to enjoy this purchase for quite some time!
