Twenty years ago I walked onto my Community College newspaper and said, “I want to be a photographer.”
Thus started a long and sordid affair with photography and newspapers in general, although these days I try pretty hard to hide it
. It’s been 10 years since I ran a roll of film (what’s film grandpa?) through a camera.
Slowly the photo itch has been returning, tho I blame some people for subtly helping it along.
I’d been eyeballing the Nikon D80 and with the unexpected arrival of the Nikon F, it’s been downright impossible to ignore so today, under the auspices of looking for an old NIKKOR-S 50mm to match the F, I headed to Action Camera in Roseville and while they didn’t have any NIKKOR-S’s they did have a D80
.
So now I’m hooked. I dug out what remains of my old gear, including my prised AI Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 ED and my old F3HP, and blew the dust off of them as well.
I guess we’ll see where this goes, no?
