The fact that I know anyone at all who can afford a seven thousand dollar
camrea is thrilling it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a bunch of
millionaires.
Its a mind over matter proposition for me but I'm basically a lucky person
and miracles do seem to happen to me every so often I cant count out
anything.

It would be great to have kids who appreatate my ideas about cameras and
photography. I have had prot?g?e's and pets. And I talk to old ladies on the
bus. 2AM the night before last a guy is walking his dog asking me if my D200
is a Leica like HSB uses and says he has an M4 in a closet. But no names
this is NY.
