Hello and congratulations on your new camera! I am also a photographer who chooses Nikon. I currently shoot with a Nikon D3, though it took me some years in business to budget in for the upgraded camera. I began my career with a Nikon D70 and then I graduated to a Nikon D200. My Nikon […]
We went to see a movie last night. I smiled at my guy before we left, “We are going on a date!” I felt light, pretty, and young. I twirled in front of him, jumping and prancing. Life was beautiful in that moment. I cried the whole way home. The movie was too much for […]
