It was a mid Summer early afternoon - 07.07.07 to be precise - that I was out in the Silver Mountains area searching for a much sought after (by myself) Sturgeon Falls/Gorge. The parking area and trail head were very well marked but the trail itself disappeared after about 300 feet into the woods. Fortunately, [...]

No, this not a massacre of some kind - but just thought it would catch your attention. Since my purchase in mid June 2006, I have shot 20,000+ (yeah, twenty thousand) pictures with my Nikon D70s - shooting DAPCEP IT workshop & Bridge Festival in Houghton Graduate & Church League Softball in Summer 06, shoot-at-sight [...]

Few days ago, I had placed order for Konica Minolta DImage but when I actually saw it in Wal*Mart, it’s design wasn’t aesthetically pleasing. After doing some literature survey, I canceled that order and decided to buy FUJI Finepix S5000 10X Optical Zoom Digital Camera, from Marine Park - an online store, based in New [...]
