Take two guns and plenty of ammo! Battery chargers, extra batteries, lots of memory cards KEPT IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Take a photo vest with plenty of pockets. Have a great time!!

If a person doesn't like a Ford, he should buy a Chevrolet!

For those of you who are into numbers, the goal is 120!! I suggest the following program. Get up every morning. Have breakfast. Take your assigned pills, shots or whatever. Read the following sections of the newspaper...sports, comics, travel and want ads. Do not read the front page, editorial page, or advice to the lovelorn. If you want to watch some TV, skip the news, concentrate on the soaps and cartoons. Avoid hospital shows, cop shows and "help" shows. Concentrate on cooking shows!! Photograph flowers, shrubs, trees, the sun, clouds and people each day. Cull each days photography so that by the end of each week you have some really good shots. at the end of the month, cull again. At the end of the year, cull again. Do this each year for the next 40 years and you will live a long life!!

My wife enjoyed the flowers and I thought that I might try to preserve them.

Clocks were no problem. The sundial in the backyard was more of a challenge.

I have been in quarantine for about ten days so that my daughters can come by and visit. My creative juices needed an outlet so I pulled out a camera and did some indoor shooting. Here are several shots of our Waxed Amaryllis which resides in our kitchen.

In commemoration and observance of the recapture and rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in 164 BCE. One days supply of kosher olive oil lasted for eight days. HAPPY CHANUKAH!!

I arrived at Fort Sill in the summer of '62. Reported to the unit headquarters and was referred to supply to draw equipment. It had to be at least 100 degrees out and my khakis were soaked. The supply sergeant issued wool fatigues and other winter gear. I told him that he was (&^&%&&*%$$*((). He told me, "buddy, in a couple of months you're gonna give me a hug!!" In November, I gave him a bottle of something to keep him warm.

Yep!

Yep!

Here is the mug shot of this trespasser. He was immediately arrested, tried and convicted of trespass. Justice is swift in my territory and he was sentenced to puppy food and water for the next four months.

I have a K-5. Despite the fact that I use my A6000 most of the time because of weight considerations, I will not part with it.

Photographers with T2i's are like fine musicians. Their instruments continue to provide fine music as long as they are played once in while. My T2i still provides concert quality music and quality photography!

Welcome to the Hog Farm (Forum)! Using the Sony A6000 will make photography a very enjoyable activity. Please remember that your are the brains behind the machine. You are the photographer and the camera is just a tool (albeit, a wonderful tool). You are no longer a newbie!!!

If you will hold it until I get my $1200 from the Feds, my wife said I can buy it!
