Friday was spent in the company of a family friend that I last saw a little more than a year ago and we had a great time talking about all sorts of stuff until he mentioned wishing that he had brught his camera. He has a Nikon D2 and I told him I wanted the D3. At this point we abandoned my father to his own compnay as the two of us launched into an epic discussion of the beauty that is the D2, the settings, the great shots that he's taken, the prints he's made etc. It was great.
