Just before Christmas, I took advantage of a special sale at Target and finally got me a good dSLR. I had been wanting one for awhile, but hadn’t made it a priority. This special sale allowed me to get a Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm VR AF-S and 55-200mm VR AF-S lenses in a bundle for […]
Read more "New Year, New Camera"Wow, it seems as if its been forever since I last posted anything here. I have a cyclical work pattern.
