I love old cameras. I love them. However, since I have no darkroom, I have been finding it more and more difficult to "get what I want" with them photographically. I've been eyeballing the prosumer digital SLR market with with claws raised and fangs dripping for a few years now. I finally pounced. I just bought a Nikon D70 outfit. Finally!!! Did I mention "Yay for me!"

For those of you interested in a digital SLR, this one comes highly recommended. Thanks to Jeff over at TEN100 I was lucky enough to get to shoot some studio sessions with a D70 before I bought one. I was immediately comfortable with the equipment, partially because of Jeff's expertise, and partially because the D70 is just so damn well designed. It's a pleasure to shoot with.

I'm headed for New York City this weekend, so I'll take lots of pictures and post something. Also, those of you that like the stuff in the galleries will have much more material (at higher quality) to look at from here on out. "Scout's honor."
